      "Great benefits, overall I’m satisfied with the culture, however it is extremely hard to get promoted in my department (Finance). Women are told that there are only that many leadership positions, yet I constantly see men being promoted."

      "The opportunities are endless if you can put McKinsey on your cv - just really make sure that it's what you want or that the benefits outweigh the shit you're going to have go through. It's not even that men are making it difficult for you there; it's the other women in leadership positions both on the consulting track and non consultant. I can't even explain it; they make it harder for other women to succeed but are happy to bolster and support the men. It's so sad and you really need to have tough skin to cut it."

      "The culture depends very heavily on always being "on" and available. This means working late nights every night, even without a clear deliverable need, and always self-promoting, such as how your weekend hobbies make you a better employee. I only knew of one female AP/Partner who had kids, and her family had a lot of hired help. The women who took a step back to work in-house roles at the firm were looked down on by the others. Overall, for a male or female, the culture is quite toxic. It is not surprising at all that McKinsey has been in the news recently for several large ethical failings. "

      "McKinsey has good benefits that partially compensate for the lack of work-life balance. Professional development and growth highly depend on the function, team and the manager. Overall, it's a good company to work for, and it's getting better when it comes to representation of women in leadership roles."

You can 'make your own McKinsey' and have children and a great career, but you will need to be very organised and strict with your time, it won't just 'happen'."

      "McKinsey is making a good effort to get and keep more female employees, so I thought there were a lot of opportunities to have mentors, join office groups, etc. There is a high premium placed on being a frequent contributor during meetings, which is challenging when that's not your style."

      "hey are working hard to find opportunities for women, however, it is tough to go back into the typical consultant role after having a baby. They are still trying to figure out what models will work."

      "I like working at McKinsey. Within the practice area I work, there are actually a lot of other women as well. I think the firm also focuses a lot of time and energy on trying to make things equitable between men and women. The bigger question in my mind is whether the hours and travel will be sustainable longer term as I think about having a family and wanting to spend more time at home."

      "I've worked here for 4 years across 2 offices and multiple sectors/industries. I believe that McKinsey is truly committed to creating an environment where everyone can succeed and thrive, including women. There are numerous programs that have been designed with flexibility in mind (these are open to both men and women) and the number of these programs has grown substantially since I joined the company. While consulting remains male dominated, there are certainly female role models and many male roles models and sponsors as well. One of my favorite "women friendly" things about McKinsey is our evaluation system, which I think takes a significant amount of bias out of reviews."

In addition to several initiatives that I've been involved in, I've also been really happy to see men participate in the dialogue in really meaningful ways, particularly the leadership serving as a good example. The focus on mentorship has been really important to me, and I've been lucky to have several female mentors who have made opportunities for me."

      "I worked at McKinsey for about 7 years. It was a great experience, but I didn't know how political it would get as you get more senior in the Department. McKinsey is a Partnership and this is an important fact to remember - it's not just about your own performance but also which Partner is in charge and who is in their support network - as the lead Partners move around so do political allegiances, especially in the support staff departments. You might well be doing a great job but if there is no-one to bat for your team, you won't last long. Maternity leave was for the most part uneventful - they will leave you alone while you're on maternity leave but most McKinsey women prefer to keep in touch with the office and it is easy to do so most of the time."
