McKinsey & Company I have an interview coaching session coming up at McKinsey & Company and I was told from ex-McKinsey friend that this is also an assessment and part of the interview process. Is it true? I thought it is just giving me tips…

It’s completely fair game to ask whether it’s evaluative. I do practice cases with candidates all the time that are 100% not evaluative. Touch base with your recruiter and see.

There’s a couple (potential) pieces: one is an actual coaching session where they run through a case with you. No assessment. The second piece is an evaluative case (generally by phone) with a McKinsey alum. Those are the two most common sessions. You should clarify with the recruiter if there’s still ambiguity.

Both the coaching session and the phone evaluative case are with McKinsey alum. If it’s been characterized as a coaching session, it’s likely non evaluative.

I had something similar last month. Just strait coaching. No evaluation. Both the coach and your recruiter should give you feedback from it.

helpful

Totally depends - I’ve done lots of these and I’ve never sent the feedback outside of the coaching conversation between myself and the candidate (e.g. to the recruiter). I think it being 100% between the two of us provides a safer space for them to take risks / mess up, which I also think makes the practice more helpful.
