Mckinsey R2

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing for McKinsey Round 2 (in-person) and wanted to understand the actual interview logistics from people who have gone through it recently.

For the case portion, how is the prompt and information typically shared? Does the interviewer verbally explain the full context only, or do they also provide something visual (printed case packet/exhibits, laptop screen, etc.)? For charts/data exhibits, are they usually handed to you as printouts or shown digitally?

One thing I’m trying to be mindful of is that my biggest challenge has always been processing a lot of verbal information quickly especially if the prompt is delivered very fast or there are different accents. I’m working on improving my active listening, but I want to understand the setup so I can prepare better.

Any insights on what the R2 experience feels like would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
