While all our consultants have a strong record of academic or professional achievement, they come from many different disciplines—not only business and economics, but also engineering, medicine, the arts, and humanities. We look for people with excellent problem-solving and people skills, leadership potential, healthy curiosity, and the courage to take initiative. We hire people from all backgrounds.
In every one of our client engagements, we bring together the best team of minds from around the world, drawing on the broadest range of industry and functional experience. Teams share a structured problem-solving approach, where all opinions and options are considered, researched, and analysed carefully before recommendations are made. No two days are the same—at McKinsey, we innovate constantly, collaborate to solve meaningful challenges, and apply unique approaches to problem solving. We own our domains of expertise.
Our work is intense, but we also have fun and celebrate our successes together. Our office retreats involve outdoor activities such as trekking, river rafting, and games. We also have sports teams and weekly get-togethers.
