      Young Leaders Program Interview

      24 Feb 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Nairobi
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Nairobi) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      The **McKinsey Solve Game** is an interactive, AI-driven assessment designed to evaluate problem-solving skills through gamified scenarios. It includes challenges like **Ecosystem Management**, where I balanced predator-prey populations, and **Disease Outbreak Analysis**, where I identified patterns to find the source of an illness. Instead of traditional right-or-wrong answers, the game assessed how I **analyzed data, adapted to changes, and made strategic decisions**. There was no immediate feedback, but strong performance led to the next interview round. The experience was engaging, requiring logical thinking, pattern recognition, and optimization skills under time constraints.
