SURVEY SAYS


Good grooming

McKinsey consultants describe their firm as “fast-paced, demanding and challenging,” but also collegial and supportive.  One of the “most distinctive attributes is its emphasis on feedback,” which can be “overwhelming” at times.  “From the moment you walk in, you’re being groomed to be a partner, and you are constantly receiving feedback, 90 percent of which is developmental, in order to help you reach that bar,” a Chicago staffer reports.

Tips from the inside

Meeting with McKinsey


Depending on their school, future McKinseyites should expect two to three rounds of interviews before making the cut, insiders say.  Usually in the first round, “there is a written test for analytical ability,” along with an interview—or interviews—with associates and project leaders.  During the second (and possibly third) round of interviews, candidates sit for a number of interviews with a range of McKinsey staffers, including partners, and will be expected to answer case study and behavioral questions, such as, “Describe a situation when you had to persuade someone,” a senior business analyst recalls.
