Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
We work with the most ambitious and smart people (nothing is impossible), gain diverse experience. As a designer have high impact as we work directly with c-suite, and you work as a "full stack designer" - from setting business strategy through customer and market research to implementing solutions (designing and developing) and consulting on hiring design professionals to our clients (e.g. chief design officer). It also gives you the leadership skillset and sets you up for success after McKinsey.
Cons
Fast passed environment, exhausting, lack of focus on social and ecological problems (but slowly getting better on this front, so staying hopeful), lack of diversity in leadership possitions
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Smart people making the teams. Challenging Broad Global Excellent People
Cons
Work hard Long hours Competitive Behaviour between colleagues unfortunately
