I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Düsseldorf) in Jan 2025
Interview
Sehr gut strukturiertes Gespräch mit vielen klassischen Fragen (kaum fachlich): Führe mich durch den Lebenslauf, wieso interessiert dich dieser Bereich, was reizt dich an der Stelle am meisten? Man sollte sich genau auf diese Fragen vorbereiten, da eine gute Struktur und prägnante Antworten auf diese Fragen sehr wichtig sind. Darüber hinaus wird auch die Gehaltsvorstellung abgefragt.

Question 1
Wieso ich eine passende Kandidatin für die ausgeschriebene Stelle wäre
Straightforward, well structured & well explained. Long duration, with 5 30-ish minute interviews total spread out over the course of a couple of weeks. Great support, information on requirements/evaluations readily available.
Too long - too many rounds. Had to play a game first, then multiple rounds. No follow ups after I was rejected - I got ghosted.
Did not enjoy it - obviously this was a long while back and I was too young to notice but not a good behaviour. Truly no respect.
The process made me feel very unprepared but I was able to get through with all of my studying. I would recommend anyone about to interview with them look at Harvard Business cases as reference
