McKinsey & Company Junior Consultant salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

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)

Likes

Dislikes

...ality its a biased place. those who the manager likes will move to better roles. salary and Hike is less when compared to same profiles on other companies

Likes

Dislikes

...was just done as formality. Its more like a monopoly and leads are very partial. Compensation is way below the market standards.

Likes

Job profile, professionalism, treating employees, overtime allowances and job securities are awesome

Dislikes

Payscale is very low as this like big company have to give excellent salary but it's really disappointing from McKinsey, rotational shifts and there is no Gymnasium and not enough Dormitory room for taking rest

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.
