McKinsey & Company Gave McKinsey Imbellus(gamified assessment) today my performance was:
Game 1-EcoSys. Build- All 8 Species survived. Game 2 - Tower Defence - R1-28 Turns; R2 - ~10 Turns; R3 -24 Turns. Wanted to check if this score could get me for further rounds? Also wanted to check how is the overall interview process? How many rounds and how much technical part do they ask? Position - Knowledge Analyst @ McKinsey & Company

Which team are you applying for? I interviewed this year and after the game I had 4 rounds. Round 1 was with an expert, then with a senior expert, Round 3 was with a director of CCN and last was with a partner who would be your sponsor as a KA

Technical part = knowledge of your industry which will be primarily tested in round 1 and little in all other rounds. Prev workex was discussed a lot to see what kind of work i did and how that would help in the role i was applying. Cases were part of 3 rounds and the 4th round was more of a fit interview with discussion on industry knowledge (the partner would be someone who works in this industry regularly). Dm me if u have any more questions

What is this??

Step I of recruitment process. I guess they have replaced PST with PSG(above discussion) lately.

Could you please let me know how much time McKinsey takes to screen a new application and revert to the candidate?

Aah, okay... This can also be taken into consideration. Keeping my fingers crossed.

uplifting

Is there any website to practice these tests which McK organises?

Hi SE1, while searching for resources to prep for this I came across some resources from “MConsulting” which provides a very holistic & similar test. They claim it is >95% similar to actual PSG. However it is paid & expensive.

For my prep I just went through the videos & articles available which talks about different aspects & strategies to ace the test.

Hello, have you heard back from Mckinsey regarding the Imbellus game?
I did the Imbellus almost 10 days ago. I did good in the ecosystem game but not very good in the plant defense. I managed to save the plant in the 2nd round for around 20 moves, but in the 1st and 3rd I only got 10 and 14 moves respectively. Anyway, I am still waiting for a feedback from mckinsey.

Hello, thank you for your reply. I am actually applying for an experienced consultant role in the Benelux, Belgium precisely. Having previous experience in sustainability field, hoping to reach the interview rounds after the Imbellus and best of luck for you!

Hi all, any word on how your scores went, did you all pass? Just trying to establish a baseline before starting my own PSG

D1 I assume it’s not pass/fail but rather a way to benchmark your quantitative & qualitative capabilities

I think it is pass or fail, obviously that and your background combined conclude whether you make it to the next round

How did u know all 8 species survived? They don’t really show the results, do they?

Hello! What's about your result?
Now I am at the same situation)
