McKinsey Recruiter Feedback Call Mid-Process

Question

Hello Everyone,

After passing the first round, I conducted the first interview of the final round for a Knowledge Analyst position at McKinsey 2 weeks ago. I haven't received feedbacks on my performance throughout the process and mentioned that to my last interviewer.

My recruiter just reached out to let me know she's going to schedule a feedback call on the upcoming days (without mentioning if I'm proceeding to the final interview of the final round or not). Does this mean rejection?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Hi,

Not necessarily so.

If it were termed "Feedback call", I would actually assume this is just to give feedback on your first round but not a decision call.

That being said, I have received a rejection call before and the interviewer did also share feedback at the same time... so, best not to read too much into it :)

Answer 2

Hi there,

So I understand you did not receive feedback after your first round and were directly scheduled for the 2nd round?

In this case, it could just be the outstanding feedback after round 1 that they missed to schedule with you. That's at least one hypothesis :)

Fingers crossed for you,

Ariadna

Answer 3

Hi there,

Could go both ways yet this is usually done between rounds to

provide feedback
plan the logistics for the final round

I'd be cautiously optimistic!

Fingers crossed,

Florian
