Pros - Part of the biggest type of work at McKinsey - close to 40% of work is operations. Impact will be easy to see. Get to work with frontline to C level. Also some of the best down to earth people in McKinsey.
Cons - if you are hired into it, you will always be seen as an ops person - very hard to be seen as a true generalist. Also travel can take you to remote and smaller cities.

Always being an ops person may be a pro for some people.

Pro is getting to participating in implementing initiatives to professionalize and rationalize firm support functions. Also ops ppl are do-ers not filled with empty talk.
Con is strategy folks may look down on you as plebs as you actually walk the talk

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri

As an experienced, SHRM certified HRBP , I would just like some feedback on your opinion of the differences in the roles between an HRBP an HR Manager besides the obvious that the manager should have direct reports. I am an HRBP and work in step with 3 HRM’s. They all 3 just got out of cycle raises of between 5-20% 😳 and I received nothing. I am quite aware of our HR code that salary is confidential but I was told about this. Would you be looking for other employment? Or stay?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
