On the McKinsey Imbellus game and prerequisite

Hi there,

You generally only need to wait a few days to get results, sometimes it can be a week or two.

The game is a prerequisite and part of screening. If you fail, you're out (sorry)

If you don't hear back from them by the end of the week, send an email Tuesday next week!

Hello!

Don´t worry, the wait won´t be long -few days-.

And yes, you need to pass in ordre to continue with the process

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi there,

2 weeks is an okay period to wait.

Yes, you need to pass to get invited to the interview.

Good luck!

Hey there,

Some answers here are wrong.

It depends on the office. In some offices, the game is a pre-screening device. In other offices (e.g., Germany), it is conducted at the same time as the first round of interviews and part of the evaluation, not a sole make-or-break decision-maker.

In your case, it sounds like the game is used as a pre-screening device since no interviews were scheduled at the same time...

Wait times are usually between 1 day and 2 weeks, with most people hearing back within 1 week.

Source: I interviewed more than 170 people from around the globe who took the game since November 2019.

Cheers,

Florian
