Meet our consultants

“I started my MBA fully convinced that I would join a start-up after graduation. I believed consulting was not creative enough for someone like me, with an architecture background. But everything changed when I interned with McKinsey. I finally understood what consultants do, what their days looked like, how they worked in teams, and how diverse their projects were. Realizing that I could use my creative skills to design business impact is what convinced me to join McKinsey after graduating.” – Cristina, Associate, London

“During my internship, I was helping a client that produces high-quality, low-volume products. When I first arrived at the production site, I felt quite overwhelmed by the complex manufacturing process. With the help of McKinsey experts from different areas, we were able to manage the complexity and ultimately optimize the client’s process. The internship taught me there are no unsolvable problems as long as you can rely on a network full of experience and knowledge.” – Julia-Kristin, Junior Specialist, Hamburg

 

“McKinsey is a workplace that offers a variety in every aspect—not only in terms of the different cultures that make up project teams—but also regarding the range of projects and the C-suite-level interactions possible even for young team members. My time at McKinsey has taught me how quickly and efficiently you can work with the right tools and mindset. Deliverables that I would have previously thought would take two to three weeks we deliver in a matter of days. It’s incredible.” – Sophie, Engagement Manager, London
