Anyone who did phone case interview with McKinsey - does the interviewer tell you if you passed right after or the recruiter tells you later of the result ?

Recruiter tells you later

Oh weird! Given that the interviewer is the only judge so if you passed, why won't they tell right after!

They have to see the full day’s schedule and level set at the end of the day. Also usually the interviews are literally back to back all day and interviewer doesn’t have any time to think until the end.

Your interviewer probably had 14 of those more or less back to back, then at the end of the day has to tell HR their force ranking, HR has to take into account any outstanding factors (partner relationships, diversity, number of available interview slots, etc.) and then decide who gets passed on. I’m not at McK, but I think that’s pretty much how things work everywhere.

@M1 - I was just referring to the phone case interview that lasts 30 mins and prior to in office interviews. It's only for experienced hires

I was told I was moving on by the interviewer and then the recruiter eventually told me. Obviously on a case by case basis.

What was the case about.. very curious

M1, for us HR/recruiting doesn’t do any further filtering based on the outstanding factors you mentioned. The interviewer’s decision is final.

A1 - did you make it to final round?

Yes

So the case interviewer said that the recruiter will get back to me with results. I made a small math error but corrected when she asked me to "check again". A bit worried about that. Did everything else right though in terms of communication and explaining my thinking process.

If you get dinged it will be because of something else in addition to that.

@A1 - I corrected my error when pointed out and did well. Do they really sing you if you correct yourself ?
