McKinsey Interview feedback

I had my final round of interviews at McKinsey . After following up, the recruiter told me to expect a call from one of the interviewers to give me feedback about the interviews and the hiring decision. Is that normal that the interviewer communicates the decision? and is that positive or negative indicator?

Hi there,

1) Is that normal that the interviewer communicates the decision? 

Yes.

2) And is that positive or negative indicator?

No way to know unfortunately, could be either. Top consulting companies usually call candidates in both cases after a final round.

Good luck!

Hi there,

Yes it's totally normall! Honestly, it's more of a positive indicator than a negative one, but we can't know for sure until the call actually happens.

Hello!

Yes, it´s totally normal, and it does not indicate anything + or -

 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

This is the norm. So, there's no reading into it. The interviewer will call you to tell you yes… or no…
