McKinsey Netherlands

As an associate, you’ll lead a key portion of a client project. You’ll have direct contact with senior clients and work with a high degree of independence. You might conduct analyses, interview clients and their customers, plan and facilitate workshops, translate conclusions into recommendations, and help design and implement large-scale organizational-change programs. We’ll provide extensive training to help you build core consulting skills. You will also receive ongoing feedback and mentorship from collaborative teammates.

After 2 or 3 years, you may move into the role of engagement manager and lead client projects, manage teams, coach less experienced colleagues, and take responsibility for initiatives within McKinsey.

As a fellow, you’ll work on client projects as part of a team and take responsibility for your own part of the problem solving. You’ll play a key role in gathering and analyzing data, interviewing clients, and contributing to the team’s recommendations. You’ll work directly with senior client managers and have a voice in determining the team's working approach. Your ideas will be encouraged from day one.

In the fellowship program, you’ll spend about 2 years developing broad business skills; then you can take educational leave to obtain your MBA (financially supported by McKinsey), gain further work experience for one year in your chosen industry or in a nonprofit organization, or move directly into an associate role.

The fellow internship program, which runs about 10 weeks, is for students who want to gain firsthand experience of management consulting and learn about a career at McKinsey. We welcome your application if you will be completing your university or postdoctoral studies within the next 18 months.

As an intern, you’ll experience the day-to-day life of a McKinsey consultant. You’ll be an active member of a consulting team and be responsible for specific parts of the project. At the same time, you’ll get day-to-day coaching and a dedicated mentor. Just like the rest of the team, you'll work at the client site together with the client, but you’ll also spend time with your colleagues at the Amsterdam office.
