Hey there,

Yes, you will always be notified.

How long has it been since you took the test and how many FUP emails did you send? If you did not hear back within 2 weeks I would contact HR, primarily by calling them.

Cheers,

Florian

It's been almost 2 moths since I did the test. I sent FUP emails for 3 times, and I just sent it last week.

That's very strange and definitely not the norm. Have you tried calling them? What is the status of your application in the online portal?

I haven't called them yet, and the status is still in progress.

Hi there,

Generally you should receive a response within a few weeks (pass or fail).

What I will say is that I know a number of recruiters who say they're absolutely swamped right now. My guess is that your application is still there but they haven't gotten around to it yet.

I highly recommend you pick up the phone ang ring them.

Hi, I am exactly in the same situation here in Lima, Peru. More than 1 month after taking the test with no news. I emailed my recruiter twice and had no answer.

I recently contacted McKinsey on the website, but no answer either.

Does anybody have been through the same situation? What was the result?

No, I haven't. I think I will move on, although my application says "In Progress", so really don't know. What about you?
