Constructive Feedback From McKinsey & Company Employees

  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    Interviews are unecessarily long and drawn out and the recruiters and hiring managers who are the face of the company to prospective candidates are not trained well to be at their best. More than once, I was ghosted by an interviewer or was rescheduled AFTER joining the interview call.
  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
    A culture of meanness, opacity and vindictiveness from bosses and managers means rank and file are no longer interested in voicing their opinions. Everything is now about protecting the bottomline, talent, aspirations etc. be darned.
  • What would you most like to see improved at your company?
    office Location should be increased as pilot version

  • What advice would you give to yourself as a candidate? Think you never had a shot at McKinsey? Think again. There are many routes to a #career at our firm, and most are unconventional. Whether you built your expertise on the #job, learned new skills through an internship, or earned an MBA, experience is experience. With big ideas and a wide range of perspectives and life experiences, we want people who are ready to take on new challenges.
  • Who does McKinsey hire? We're looking for exceptional people from any background. Smart people who can contribute something unique and different. Curious people with an active imagination. Admittedly, many of our colleagues come from well-known universities. But academic merits alone don't cut it. If you're inquisitive and believe that asking questions can lead to great things, we want to hear from you.
  • What do consultants do anyway? We work with our clients to reshape institutions and industries through technology and innovation. When you join us, you’ll have a role to play in helping to address some of the most urgent matters of our time. The kind of matters that make headlines and land in history books. Every team member is critical to our firm’s mission and purpose.
  • What does it take to create sustainable and inclusive growth? It takes a lot. Dedication and passion. Boldness and curiosity. Hard skills and soft skills. Some you are born with and others can be learned through experience. But one thing is certain: creating impact and sustainable and inclusive growth takes exceptional people who are driven, curious, and eager to learn.
