I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Very structured process. All the folks interviewed with were extremely kind and intelligent. 2 rounds, 5 interviews total. In-person super day was more enjoyable and felt like less pressure. The cases themselves were all the same structure (except senior partner). Same across rounds 1 and 2
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview was a straightforward case study, and a McKinsey-specific Personal Experience Interview. This was difficult but I was able to prepare, so it was not too challenging after preparation. The team was very kind throughout the process and I was able to request information on the interview style ahead of time.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenge and how you overcame it?
Passed the online test and then had a round 1 interview. I got a rejection call shortly after. Interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical. Difficulty depends on difficulty of case.
First you get an HR Round, then 2 back to back interviews then 3 interviews. The overall process took around 2-3 weeks, it was not very difficult very fast turnaround
