Do all McKinsey offices use Imbellus?

Hi Anonymous,

Using software/gamification to streamline high-volume recruiting process will definitely increase and McKinsey's plan is as well to roll it out globally. I cannot comment on those 2 offices specifically - but you are informed explicitly after reviewing your application documents if you will take the Imbellus test. No need to prepare that much upfront since there is limited prep - it's enough to start caring about it once you know you will need to take it.

Hope this helps - if so, please be so kind to give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hello,

McKinsey has started rolling out Imbellus to more and more locations due to COVID. London was one of the first offices to be trialled with Imbellus and I'd be surprised if there are any locations, especially in Western Europe or North America, where the game isn't used now. I did the game for the Oslo office.

Hi there,

In Europe the Imbellus is used for sure in:

• London
• Oslo
• Copenhagen
• Milan

Plus more and more offices are starting to use it.

If you want to prepare in the best possible way, I created a guide exactly for that.

This guide will:

• Show you the perfect strategy for each of the 4 Game Scenarios
• Explain every single part of the Game with ad-hoc pictures
• Detail the exact steps to improve in the 5 Skills tested in the game
• Provide you insider information from previous applicants who succeeded in the game
• Reveal the must-know answers to the most common questions on the Imbellus
• Offer you a ready-to-use Excel template to maximize results in Scenario 1 with a detailed tutorial
• Give you a proven template to build the food chain in Scenario 1

This guide will cover every single part of the Game, so you can be 100% confident the day of the assessment, without worrying “I should have prepared better for this”. You won’t need any additional material to prepare after it.

You can download the guide instantly here:

As an extra bonus, I am offering for a limited time the Consulting Industry Cheat Sheet (worth $29) for free with the guide. You will get access to the key insights of the 17 most common industries in case interviews.

If you need additional support or have any questions on the guide please feel free to PM me, I am happy to provide extra tips for free.

Best,

Hi there,

It does vary office-to-office but my understanding is London and Paris do use it. Regardless, you will find out if/when they invite you to interview! You do not need extensive prep time to prepare for the test (you need to familiarize yourself with the screens, go through some tutorials/examples, but it is not nearly as time-consuming as case prep)
