OUR CULTURE
OUR CULTURE - ONE FIRM, MANY CULTURES

McKinsey has more than 95 offices in over 50 countries. Our consultants represent over 100 nationalities and speak more than 120 languages. Despite this wide range of nationalities and backgrounds, we operate as "One Firm" worldwide. That means we knit the benefits of our diversity into a unique global network unified by our values.

Our Values
Adhere to the highest professional standards
Improve our clients' performance significantly
Create an unrivaled environment for exceptional people

Internationality
As well as staffing projects on an international basis, McKinsey organizes conferences, training courses, and informal events on an international basis to support the development of an international culture and the establishment of a global network.

Diverse Backgrounds
In the Swiss office, diverse cultural backgrounds, very different professional backgrounds, and a broad range of interests form a significant part of the office's culture. By staffing projects internationally and giving our consultants the opportunity to work abroad, the Swiss office emphasizes the importance of building an international culture on the basis of diversity.

Working in Teams
You will be working in teams with colleagues who have the broadest possible interests and academic and cultural backgrounds. Teams consisting of such diverse people as a political scientist with an M.B.A., a medical doctor, and a chemist are the rule rather than the exception. And because of our global staffing efforts, they will probably be from different offices or countries.

"To help our clients make distinctive, lasting, and substantial improvements in their performance and to build a great Firm that attracts, develops, excites, and retains exceptional people."
