I applied through college or university. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Houston, TX) in Sep 2025
Interview

I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Athens, Athens, Attica)
Interview
Overall good experience besides the fact that I had to undertake a numerical online test. I find it a bit obsolete in 2026 to use this type of assessment method
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Ciudad de Mexico)
Interview
Interview process was really great, all interviewers were friendly and professional. Started with a phone screen, then two case interview rounds with a partner and a senior associate, followed by a final round covering fit and problem-solving skills
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to influence someone without formal authority
