Some who has been through Mckinsey's Tech recruiting for new grads. Can you please share what the timeline was like? for eg: How many after the hackerrank assessment you were conveyed the result ? How long was the process in general? Will greatly appreciate any responses.

Hi Emma,
In general, results can take anywhere from a day to many weeks. I know this isn't an ideal answer but ultimately timelines are highly variable.
Stay patient and good luck!

Hey there,
The process is usually quite fast due to high demand. I would expect from application to offer between 2 to 6 weeks (depending on your schedule).
Fingers crossed!
Cheers,

Hi Emma,
if you are applying within the recruiting waves (fresh grads) then the process takes approx. 6-8 weeks, 2 weeks in between each step. As a regular role application, it can take up to 6 months given the number of people that must interview you and their packed agendas.
Good luck!
Lucie
