McKinsey & Company Reviews
-
Pros
great brandname to put on resume
steep learning curve on interesting topics
structures on disciplines imposed on you to form a good work habit
people try to be nice--at least they tryCons
after one year you cannot talk in normal human language
after one year you only think in PPT format
after one year you cannot tolerate people who talk for more than 1 minute w/o stating their points in the most clear and concise manner
after one year you are very politically correct
after one year you are deprived of all your creativity
if you have not met each and every of the above expectations after one year, congratulations you are higly likely to be counseled to leaveAdvice to Senior Management
be more transparant in evaluation process
be more honest on the current business situation -
