I will be interviewing with McK for the position of Lean Manufacturing Consultant in Southeast Asia. I was wondering if the case interview process will be identical to the generalist positions or will it be more focused on cases related to manufacturing and if my interviewers will be from the same specialty. Also, since the pool of candidates must be significantly lower compared to MBA students, will the interview process be more lenient?
Thanks!!
Hi,
The interview process will be quite similar to the generalist interviews:
For the functional expertise, I recommend finding the relevant POVs on the McKinsey web-site. You'll get a great perspective on what McKinsey is thinking about various industry issues and Lean Manufacturing. You should also know the main metrics, benchmarks, and numbers in your country.
Indeed for rare roles, they may forgive some mistakes in the interview, however, I would not expect it to be significantly easier
Best,
