About McKinsey & Company

Since the company's formation in 1926, McKinsey has operated as a single global partnership united by a strong set of values and the drive to deliver positive, enduring change. Today, McKinsey continues to combine bold strategies and transformative technologies to support organizations to innovate more sustainably, achieve lasting gains in performance, and build workforces that will thrive for this generation and the next. McKinsey serves as a lead partner of the Mission Possible Partnership, a coalition addressing one of the toughest challenges in climate change, decarbonizing seven of the world’s hardest-to-abate sectors by 2050. 

Your Role

Training & Development

McKinsey has the scale, training, people, and technology to help you deepen your skills, explore new areas, and do meaningful work. Consultants attend at least five weeks of formal programming in their first two years and the basic consulting training, plus advanced sessions on team management and client leadership. In addition to formal and in-person training, McKinsey has an extensive e-learning on-demand curriculum and office- and practice-based learning options. McKinsey also provides fantastic mentorship, therefore, giving their employee a high chance to grow with the best quality learning materials.

Depending on the division you are working at McKinsey, competitive salaries and attractive benefits packages are offered. You may be eligible to receive a bonus that is typically paid once a year and is calculated based on your year-end performance rating. Employees can earn additional compensation and benefits, which include health and life insurance, mental health care, health, retiree and saving accounts, family and parenting programs, vacation and time-off, free food packs, tuition assistance, and job training. 

Career Progression

McKinsey offers an opportunity beyond consulting, such as tech roles, Client Capability Network Roles, or in their broad internal roles. McKinsey has both formal and informal processes to help support you, such as a training program designed exclusively for recruits and experienced professional hires where you can meet McKinsey people from all over the world. McKinsey promotes consultants based on their potential, and there are no restrictions on the number of promotions or being elected to firm partner. McKinsey's mentorship model creates a culture in which every member is invested in the success of others. You’ll be challenged to broaden your skill set and step into leadership positions.

Work-Life Balance

McKinsey offers an innovative range of flexible, part-time programs for all consultants that are compatible with career success. Flexibility programs are individually tailored at all tenure levels and may have short or long-term duration. At McKinsey, flexibility is defined broadly and includes part-time programs, reduced days per week, or hours per day extended time off between projects, a formal program of mentorship, and workload adjustment for consultants about to leave for or return from leaves of absence, typically parental leave. Options for consultants to stay in their current role longer, thus reducing
the pressure to fulfill requirements for the next role.

The company is also popular with its tight competitiveness among its employees, whereby graduates and interns are guaranteed to have the most challenging workload and environment to learn and prove themselves stand out from each other.
