Hi, I just had my set of first round interviews for Mck yesterday for an Associate position, and the very first interview was nearly a traumatic experience.
1. The interviewer didn’t comment/ask any questions on my PEI part of the interview.
2. After hearing the case interview prompt, I asked a couple of questions to better understand client situation (e.g. their more specific product portfolio, competitor info, C structure), and he kept saying there’s ZERO background info at all or why would I ask such questions in a particularly aggressive manner.
3. I think it’s some kind of an error, but I kept seeing parts of his marking sheet flicker on the zoom share screen whenever he wrote something down or recorded a score…
So, after all this, I really couldn’t brace myself and ended up really ruining the third and last question, which was the calculation.
I did fine on my second interview, so now I’m just waiting for the result. Has anyone had a similar experience? What happened to you in terms of the result?
