I had a weird interview experience with McKinsey. I was quickly invited for the Solve game following resume screening, then invited to an interview with HR (although there were some delays before they confirmed the date) and they explained the whole process with the dates for upcoming interviews. I was about to reach out to people I knew at McKinsey to prepare and then I realized they all lost their job… Then HR rejected me a couple weeks later. Are they really hiring or is it just for show?

I interview very well and usually get to final rounds of interviews so it was odd to get rejected after the HR interview…

In any event, it seemed risky to join once I had discovered they had laid off so many people recently and I wasn’t sure about whether to continue the process before they rejected me, but I was wondering if anyone might know what happened.

Honestly being a new joiner doesn't seem like the worst thing now. Most of the attrition is from the larger classes post-pandemic

We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
