Assessment Process for Greater China Offices

The Greater China consultants will be coming to the U.S. in the fall to hold interviews, which typically take place over the course of one day.

The first round consists of two forty-five minute one-on-one interviews. Each interview will include both a business case to test problem solving and an experience interview to test other skill areas. Our interviewers are trained to examine candidates' past accomplishments in depth in order to determine if the skills they possess would position themselves well for a successful career at McKinsey. Candidates need to be prepared to discuss their most important past experiences in a detailed way, focusing on their specific role and describing their actions that were critical to success.

The second round includes a multiple-choice problem solving test which is designed to test advanced problem solving skills. We acknowledge that this is the most impersonal part of our interview process. We use it because it has proven to be very predictive of success during the interview process. A business case interview follows the problem solving test.

The final round of interviews will consist of 1-2 business case interviews with partners of our Greater China office.
