there was an initial resume screening, an online Solve assessment, first round of virtual interviews (two 1-hour interviews back to back), final round of in-person interviews at their office (I did not make it to this final round)

The interview process consisted of multiple rounds, each combining a personal experience interview (PEI) with a case interview. The PEI focused heavily on specific examples of leadership, impact, and problem-solving, with the interviewer asking detailed follow-ups to understand how I approached difficult situations. The case interviews followed the typical McKinsey style — very structured, math-focused, and interviewer-led. I was expected to break down ambiguous problems into clear components, run through quantitative analysis, interpret data from charts, and communicate insights concisely. There was also a short brainstorm or creativity component toward the end of most cases.
