I applied online. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Lagos) in Sep 2025
Interview
It was difficult
The solve game is innovative and always different for each person every single time
As for the interviews they prepared me for every case interview I ever had after that time
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Prompt: BackupCo is a data backup and disaster recovery company. It’s
primary headquarters is in Boston, its client services department is in South
Carolina, and its development is split between Texas and Ukraine. To expand
its product offerings, reach, and revenue, it is considering purchasing
CloudCo, a cloud backup provider headquartered in Southern California. Our
firm has been hired to evaluate this potential acquisition. How would you
begin considering this deal?
Ofrece muchos recursos a tu disponibilidad para preparar las entrevistas como reuniones online para explicar el proceso, y grupos de ayuda. El proceso es largo, pero lo merece para pertenecer a esta empresa.
Gave assessment. Waiting 1st round. But, here the assessment and resume are scored together to reach next round. Might take 1-3 weeks for invite. Assessment has only 20% - 30% weightage.
The recruiter was great! 2 rounds of 5 interviews, first was 2 associates, second was 3 partners. My first round, the interviewers spoke absolutely broken English and made it extremely difficult to understand what they are trying to say. My second interviewer was extremely rude as well. Honestly comes down to who interviews you and the case selection that will determine your fate
