Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on passing the first interview round at McKinsey!

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

  • From the experience of coachees of mine, McKinsey seems to lag behind with their recruiting process in the UK, especially regarding feedback.
  • Even though I totally feel you that you want to hear back from them as soon as possible, I would advise you to try to distract you from it.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming final interview round at McKinsey, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hey there,

Indirectly related, I have a couple of candidates for the London office (all experienced hires) at the moment, and its complete chaos regarding 

  • their interview scheduling
  • the feedback cycle
  • the interviewer performance

Not sure what is happening at the moment but it seems like the recruiting of this particular office is overwhelmed greatly.

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

Just confirming what Hagen and Florian have said - London recruiting seems to be a bit all over the place at the moment.
