“The people here are the most remarkable I’ve ever worked with. I go all over the world, and every time I meet with McKinsey folks I’m very impressed by them—by the quality and the level at which they engage and the passion they have for the industry they work in or for problem solving in general.”

Karina
Engagement Manager

Experienced Professional
“After working on a couple of projects, you kind of build the people around you, who inspire you, who challenge you, who make you excited and to whom you reach out when you have a question, when you have a doubt, when you want a second opinion. That definitely makes my whole McKinsey experience that much more rewarding.”

A big reason so many of us came to McKinsey—and why we stay—is the people. They make our experience here rewarding, valuable, and enjoyable.
We enjoy spending time with each other, whether at work or outside the office. When you’re on a team, you really get to know your colleagues. You rely on them when things are going well—and even more so when they’re not. And you develop friendships that last long after a client study is over.
Broad range of backgrounds
Pick an experience, and chances are someone at McKinsey has had it. Our people come from all backgrounds and have a wide range of talents and interests.
Our global community includes surgeons, scholars, and physicists. Ethicists, government ministers, and presidential speechwriters. Mountain climbers and skydivers, Olympic athletes and cellists. Mothers and fathers. Opera singers and novelists.
