Hi,

Usually, it's within a couple of days, but It can take up to two weeks in the edge cases. Partners need to consolidate their opinions and very often it's hard taking into account their schedule.

Hi Anonymous,

the standard range of time is between 1 day and 1 week, McKinsey is usually one of the fastest companies to provide feedback.

Hello!

Why would you say "rejection" instead of "acceptance"? Come on, a little bit of optimism!

Depends, since a meeting needs to happen with HR and the two people who did the final round. Since they are generally partners, this can take up to a week. 

Good luck!

Hi, the feedback usually requires up to 2 weeks. I recommend to email/call HR without worrying about bothering them. They are there to help

Acceptances can be as fast as a few hours. But overall the range for both is a day to two weeks max

Hello,

It could vary a lot based on thei pipeline and their target in terms of new hires. Generally speaking I would say between 2 and 14 days.

Best,
Luca
