My friend just interviewed with McKinsey at LBS and apparently her interviewer took over the case after 2 minutes and started solving it himself 😂

She’s a bit confused if this is normal. Comments?

This happened with me at Accenture and I don’t think he realized he did it. Seemed like he was just used to a collaborative discussion. Either way, I appreciated it and got the job! Was new to consulting but had other experience so case studies were new to me

I’d say probably a bad thing because the interviewer has no basis to pass them. Maybe they were so bad the interviewer thought “f*ck it, I’m just going to do this myself”

Same, had one interviewer do the same thing (in last rouns though, so less focus on case anyway), got hired! 😄
