Hi,
Can somebody please clarify how many interviews should we expect in the first round. Is it:
1) 3 interviews - 2 case and 1 PEI interviews
2) 3 Interviews - 3 case interviews with PEI for the first 10-15 mins for each interview
I am getting really confused and my interview will be next week. Much appreciated for any guidance please!
Hi,
Since you have not mentioned what role you are applying for I am going to assume it is either a BA or Associate position. In which case you will have the following
If you are applying for a specialist role (e.g., Senior pharma analyst) then this will be different and they will clarify it in an email.
All the best,
Udayan
Hello there!
It depends on your position.
I agree with Udayan that for an associate or analyst there are 2 interviews, both PEI+case solving part.
Do you need any further help?

It's typically 2 interviews covering fit and case. However local differences might exist and you should check with HR onthe exact process.
Hi there,
I recently helped a candidate for a BA position at McK London and she got 2 interviews, both including PEI. HR should let you know the format anyway before the interview day.

Hi, I confirm the process for BAs includes generally 2 interviews, both with the fit part + case

Hi there,
Now, I'm assuming you've already asked HR? If not...just ask!
In terms of McKinsey, you should expect every interview to have BOTH PEI and case. So option #2 is what you should expect.
That being said, while it's reassuring to "know" what's coming, you can never be 100% certain! So, while I may be reading a bit too far into your post, it seems you're getting a little rattled/nervous by the "confusion" or uncertainty of what's to come. I highly recommend that you accept some level of uncertainty and just be ready to adjust/adapt to whatever the interviewer decides to do!
Hello!
Can you clarify both (1) tenure and (2) whether you are inteviewing for an specific business unit (e.g., Advanced Anlytics, etc.)
Usually, you would get 2 rounds, both with 2 interviews, including FIT+ business case. 1st round usually quite structured, and about the 2nd round you never know, depends greatly on the person
Hope it helps!
Best,
Clara
Hi,
It is always 2-3 Interviews with PEI for the first 15-20 mins for each interview + your questions at the end

Case Interviews can be led by the candidate or by the interviewer: In Candidate-led cases the main challenge is the structure. In Interviewer-led cases the main challenge is to adapt quickly
