Hey there,
For McKinsey, they follow the same format, meaning the same
- types of questions
- length
- difficulty level
Cheers,

Hi there,
North America doesn't not have 30-40 min cases, I can assure you of that.
I am not aware of any noticeable difference between the two. Most interview case are 15-20 minutes (i.e. far shorter than most candidates realize).
