Germany

McKinsey’s German office is the leading management consulting firm in Germany—a position secured by its depth and diversity of expertise.

Our clients include a majority of the country’s blue chips and 90% of the companies on the global Forbes list. We also advise fast-growing medium-sized companies, many leading financial service firms, government agencies, and private- and public-sector institutions.

We concentrate on the issues that influence the performance of a company or organization as a whole. McKinsey’s German office is also heavily committed to conducting projects of relevance to society. These initiatives cover a wide spectrum and include active involvement in equal opportunities for women in leadership positions as well as a diversity share.

What surprised me the most about McKinsey? The helpfulness of the colleagues - whether it was a professional or a personal problem.
