Are you my next team member?

Join McKinsey as an intern in our Stockholm or Gothenburg locations, and work alongside consultants on actual business challenges and client projects over an 6-8 week period. In Sweden, our internship program is designed to provide several different experiences.

During your internship, you can either experience life as a consultant across various industries and functions or focus your time on consulting projects in the Operations practice.

As an intern with us, you are an active team member and will be responsible for numerous contributions, such as gathering and analyzing information, preparing client presentations, helping solve critical issues, meeting client teams, preparing proposals and communications, and presenting findings to senior client executives. Experienced consultants will provide guidance and coaching and give you a sense of McKinsey’s people, values, and spirit.

Our internship deadlines are different depending on which path you are applying for. Please see below for the specific dates for the different practices.

We are, always, looking for passionate people—share your passion with us, and let us know what excites you about an internship at McKinsey.

Our internship program is meant for students who have a strong interest in joining McKinsey Sweden and pursuing a long-term career with us. We consider different dimensions when evaluating potential new colleagues: problem-solving skills, personal impact, leadership abilities, courageous change, and entrepreneurial drive.

You can learn more about these dimensions on our global careers site.

Our internship interview process starts with our gamified assessment which tests your intrinsic problem-solving skills. No preparation is required for this game. After playing the game, you receive feedback on if you proceed to interviews.

If there is mutual interest to proceed thereafter, you will be invited to a first round of interviews, consisting of two one-hour interviews with consultants at our office. If successful, you will be invited back to our office for a final round of interviews, consisting of two one-hour interviews with McKinsey Partners.

During all interview rounds, you will run through a problem-solving case as well as have conversations about your personal experiences with focus on our dimensions.

In between each interview, you will receive helpful feedback, and we offer interview coaching sessions for everyone coming to us for an interview – both for you to know what to expect, and to give you the chance to ask all the questions you may have before the interviews.

Detailed information about our interview process can be found on our global careers site.

Our internships are always personalized to fit the intern’s interests and needs. If your education requires you to do all or part of your internship abroad, please let your recruiter know, and we are happy to work with you to accommodate this.

When you join as an intern, it is important to us that your internship experience is representative of a full-time career at McKinsey. You will have the same introduction and resources available to you as our full-time employees, including personalized conversations to ensure you are assigned studies that are a good fit for you and your interests, mentorship through our “buddy system,” and a cohort of new hires to help jump-start your integration into the office.

We want you to walk away from your internship with as positive an experience as possible, having learned many new skills and gained exposure to the impactful client work we do. Our hope is that you will return after graduation and join us on a full-time basis.
