Actually I had a pretty positive interview experience at McK. It only took 1.5 months for me to reach the final round but sadly I didn’t get the offer.

Sorry to hear. EY1. Did they provide feedback from the final? Was it just more difficult than the earlier rounds?

I got feedback after every interview at McK - someone who interviewed me called me back within couple of days

Also op, any recruiters engagement is typically determined by the quality of the candidate. Not saying that’s the right thing to do, but that’s how sometimes this pans out in reality

This person has been a flake since the beginning. Between this experience and what I have discovered in my research, not sure it is the right place for me

It’s not a mock interview. Your feedback is “we selected a candidate with a better fit”
