How to apply

In the interview process, you’ll learn more about our work and culture—and we’ll get to learn more about you and your experiences.

The first step to a career at McKinsey Finland is to prepare your application. We welcome applications all year round. Simply fill in our online application form and attach your CV, cover letter, university grade transcripts, as well as matriculation exam results. Finnish language skills are not required in the Helsinki office, but you will need an excellent command of English.

The interview process

After reviewing your application, we’ll let you know within two weeks whether we would like to invite you for interviews.

An interview is an opportunity to find out whether McKinsey is the right choice for you. You will get an understanding of what consultants do and the kinds of topics we work on.

In the first round of interviews, you will have either two or three one-hour interviews with McKinsey consultants depending on the position you are applying to. Our consultants will answer your questions, share their perspectives, and discover skills that will enable you to thrive at McKinsey and your ability to solve problems, based on case studies. We believe the best way to assess your problem-solving skills is to discuss a real client scenario with you. This helps us understand how you structure tough, ambiguous business challenges, identify important issues, deal with all the implications of facts and data, formulate conclusions and recommendations, and articulate your thoughts in a fast-moving discussion. Our sample interview cases will help you get familiar with the format and test your problem-solving skills.

After the first round of interviews you will receive feedback and in the case of a successful outcome, we will schedule the second round of interviews.

How to prepare

We have created a comprehensive set of materials to support your interview preparation. You will find detailed information under “Interviewing,” including a video and tips for interviews. 

Please note that in our Helsinki office, we do not use the McKinsey Problem Solving Test.
