      I have been working at McKinsey & Company full-time for more than 2 years

      Pros

      The mckinsey brand opens doors when you walk into clients that have no clue or are in distress. This moves people into action. But this comes at a cost... See below.

      Cons

      There are many. The business model to consultancies are outdated and thus top managers and talent end up leaving.

      Intellectually stimulating, fast moving, great colleagues, working closely with senior leaders of client organizations

      Cons

      There are plenty of other careers that would provide you with more sleep, less travel and less stress. But that's the flipside of McKinsey being a fast-moving, exciting, challenging place to work

      Pros

      Training is extremely great for BAs — you learn PowerPoint, Excel, communication skills etc. in a short span of time

      Provide more opportunities for your lower-tenured consultants — let them have more flexibility and choice in their staffing to maximise impact!
