Interviewed with Kearney in the Middle East at the same time I was recruiting for McKinsey (US). Took them a week to get back to me with a rejection email and didn’t offer feedback even when I reached out to thank the interviewers and asked for it. Are MBB the only consulting firms that give candidates feedback?

Sounds harsh but no one owes you feedback. If they’re willing sure, but the only time they do is if they want you but just need to perform better. If you understand how many interviews people have to do each month on top of all of their other work there isn’t enough hours in the day to provide feedback. Doesn’t mean people won’t do it, but you need to understand how it’s not possible for most

Yeah, obviously wish this wasn’t the case but it’s just a bandwidth thing. I had feedback after my Mck interviews bc it was only casing I needed to improve on. It’s easy to provide feedback if it’s something like that, but in terms of being a fit idk how you provide that feedback without sounding too rude.

Care to share about Kearney interview process and what types of cases to expect? I am in the interviewing process :)

I had an initial interview on Wednesday. About an hour later, I got a call from an internal recruiter from the same company wanting to follow up and see how the interview went. I didn’t see the voicemail until the following morning when I was at work and called her back that afternoon when I was out of work. I still haven’t heard from her. Is this normal? Should I not try calling back again? I’ve been at my job for several years, so I am unfamiliar with how I should handle a situation like this.

Got a message from a Bain recruiter looking for experienced hires to start q1. I'm very interested but cautious because they're looking for a speedy process...feels a little rushed. Anything to be concerned about that I don't know? Like could this just be an attempt to get huge app volume or can I assume there's actually a chance if they reached out? I'm at a boutique in a niche industry, so just unsure of what would have drawn him to my profile.
