Flexible work arrangements

Manage your commitments without sacrificing your success at the firm.

McKinsey has supported flexible working arrangements for more than 14 years. Over 170 consultants are currently working on a part-time program. More than 800 have taken advantage of our flexibility options at some point in their career at the firm.

Flexibility and choices
You might choose to work fewer days per week or fewer weeks per year, take a leave of absence, or switch to another role, either temporarily or permanently. As a consultant, you can explore these options through McKinsey’s internal Flexibility Web site or through one-on-one guidance at our Flexibility Center.

Although some tradeoffs may be necessary, choosing a flexible or reduced program doesn’t mean your career will suffer at McKinsey. All of our offices worldwide support career flexibility. To date, more than 30 partners and two directors have been elected on part-time programs.

“If you are a good performer, the firm is eternally flexible—take time off, take a sabbatical, really structure a program or work on externships.”
