The culture at McKinsey is truly supportive. I’ve been able to find mentors, both formal and informal, and I benefit from the huge amount of time and resources which McKinsey invests in training.
I heard about McKinsey during a college recruiting event and felt strongly drawn to the wide range of projects the firm handles across the Middle East and South Asia. I liked the idea of working in so many different sectors—and having the ability to learn so much—in a short span of time. I applied to the Dubai office because I had grown up in Saudi Arabia and wanted to move back to the region.
One of the greatest things about McKinsey is, believe it or not, the steep learning curve. This means that you're always learning and there's always another challenge, another interesting problem to solve.
