I am currently planning to apply to McKinsey in Vienna, Austria.
On their homepage for the DACH-Region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), they explicitly claim that interviews are held in German.
Is it correct, that none of the interviews are held in English, only German?
For reference: https://karriere.mckinsey.de/karriere/einstieg/dein-interview-und-auswahlprozess
Relevant text part: "In den Interviews kannst du herausfinden, ob McKinsey die richtige Wahl für dich ist, und wir, ob du zu uns passt. Die Einzelgespräche, die auf Deutsch stattfinden, helfen uns dabei, dich besser kennenzulernen"
Thank you for your help,
Vito

Hi Vito,
If this is what they write, then I would assume this is what they're planning on doing.
In previous cases, my candidates in the DACH region have either had both case and fit in German OR the case was in English and the fit in German.
This tends to differ between roles, offices and cycles.
So follow whatever is the most recent official communication.
If you have any questions or need any help, don't hesitate to reach out.
Best,
Cristian
