Has anyone recently had a chance to take an assessment call as part of the McKinsey interview process? If yes, could you give me some guidance on what to expect?

By assessment call do you mean that 1hr initial call with HR, or the follow in case assessment via phone? I've done both recently and can help answer on both. I'll assume you mean the case, for which it's hard to find info online. It's really just case no fit at all. There won't be exhibits as it's via phone. I think the bar is fairly low as in checking can this person manage through a case, vs checking thoroughly each aspect of the case. Let me know if you have any specific questions. The case prep call they give you with an alumni should be good prep.
