I applied for the Business Analyst role with McKinsey London and whilst I never heard back, I saw on the application portal that the application had been closed.
Obviously, this is a rejection, but I am kind of surprised that McKinsey wouldn't communicate this directly via e-mail? Has this happened to anyone else?
Thank you!
Indeed, this is uncommon. I'd suggest to just reach out and inquire.
Hi Anonymous,
On the same boat here. I applied to McKinsey Latam offices two months ago and I haven't heard back yet. On my Mckinsey dashboard it still says 'open application'; however, I saw on one of the recruiters' LinkedIn a post congratulating someone for landing an offer so my guess is that their recruiting process finished a while ago.

Hello!
Sorry to hear about that, it´s indeed uncommon. I would touch base with HR.
Cheers,

Hi there,
Sorry to hear. It is indeed uncommon, however not unprecendeted...they just have so many applications these days.
If you'd like to be sure, there's no hard in reaching out.
Hi there,
It is unusual for McKinsey not to provide feedback. I guess they will provide it anyway as MBB pay a lot of attention to the recruiting process. If you want to accelerate things, I agree with Henning, you can reach out to HR and ask for feedback.
Best,
Francesco
Do you think they pushed the notice date for rejected applicants since they were focused on the ones who did make it pass the screening phase? — on Nov 03, 2020 (edited)
Hi there, yes it could be the case, although McKinsey is usually fast with feedback regardless of whether you passed or not — Francesco on Nov 03, 2020
