McKinsey is the place where you can find yourself growing exponentially with a group of exceptional talents, driven by the highest ethical standard.

Why McKinsey

When I had to choose the next journey after my MBA, I had little hesitation to join McKinsey because it seemed like the firm had the qualities that I was looking for in the product, people, culture, and system. After few years, I am thrilled more and more with the lasting impact that I am creating with amazing colleagues around me and the truly inclusive organization that I am helping to build further.

Rewarding and meaningful experiences

Whenever in doubt, McKinsey people never hesitate to make a decision based solely on our values, which put the client’s interest ahead of the firm’s. It is surprising as well as inspiring to witness selfless, sometimes even self-sacrificing decisions by the firm leadership.

Work environment and colleagues

I feel grateful every day with the fact that I am working with people with exceptional minds as well as hearts. They never compromise on the quality of the work and push themselves for the extra mile. All of them are always show a genuine interest to help each other’s growth in pure motivation.

Pursuing my passion at McKinsey Korea

I am passionate about contributing to the transformation of Korean industry. While serving various clients, I helped restore the competitiveness of them with huge passion and potential to become industry leaders. It is a really fulfilling experience to help them to set a challenging direction, breaking silos within the organization, building leaner and more efficient processes, transforming the culture and ways of working of people who are determined to survive in tough situations.
