 The Firm has a powerful corporate culture based on shared

values and common experiences
Every McKinsey-ite goes through the same rigorous training
programs and suffers through the same long nights in the
office
To outsiders, this can make the Firm seem monolithic and
forbiddingone recent book on management consulting
likened McKinsey to the Jesuits. In truth, as I hope this book
will communicate
McKinsey is as human as its employees are. or projects
engagements. On an engagement, a McKinsey team will
search for the key drivers in their quest to add value.
