I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Qazaqstan, Almaty Province)
Interview
Took more than 4 months, I was not comfortable with the interviewers and the HR team. Very selective process for the office which is lack of employees.
Interview process included 3 interviews in the first round with one stress interview, which was totally unnecessary.

Question 1
Mostly typical interview questions they are are asking for consulting positions
Gave assessment. Waiting 1st round. But, here the assessment and resume are scored together to reach next round. Might take 1-3 weeks for invite. Assessment has only 20% - 30% weightage.
The recruiter was great! 2 rounds of 5 interviews, first was 2 associates, second was 3 partners. My first round, the interviewers spoke absolutely broken English and made it extremely difficult to understand what they are trying to say. My second interviewer was extremely rude as well. Honestly comes down to who interviews you and the case selection that will determine your fate
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.
