Likes

For a fresher, it is advised not to start a career in Mckinsey because the salary would be way less than the market average. But for an experienced professional, the company will provide better package. Compare to other organization mckinsey will only be having 8 hrs of working( 7+1 ) Job safety and leave are one of the advantage Sodexo is an additional advantage

Dislikes

Career growth and opportunity would be slow. HR and management won't consider much about employee issues like long working hours ( work from home ), stressful work. Micro management can be expected from certain teams. For an experienced professional journey would be smooth compared to a fresher. Expense reimbursement of stakeholders roles doesn't have any career growth since the role is limited within McKinsey.

Good salary and benefits, specifically for the consulting path

Dislikes

Up or out culture where progression depends on having “sponsors” within the Firm who are willing to staff you; in fact, there is no other way to get staffed on projects except finding these sponsors since there are so few projects (most are lost to BCG, some never come due to deteriorating quality)

Disgusting work culture. Too much politics at mid to senior level. You need to gang up to survive in this company. There is a condescending attitude towards new hires. They firmly believe that they are doing a favour to you by hiring you. They even cut your designation when hiring to prove as if they are some sort of God. The environment is like the movie Hunger games. If you don’t have support of the big group or some senior partner, even the smallest mistake will be viewed very harshly and rudely. They will create a situation where you will be compelled to resign. Everyone is in survival mode to protect the “partner compensation” during this current global economic situation. They will not bat an eye to give a poor rating to highly capable and highly experienced people on some silly excuse. Then they will claim that the person didn’t meet the performance standards. The entire 360 degree review system here is a facade. It can be manipulated to save you hide or send you to the gallows.
