McKinsey & Company Are the Berlin offices of MBB and T2 foreigner-friendly or are they pretty much German franchises of the parent firms with exclusively local projects and all German consultants? My question is: would one be taken into consideration when applying if they don’t speak fluent German? Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company claim they have “an international environment” but after doing some LinkedIn research it looks like it’s just BS and their offices are nowhere near as cosmopolitan as the city.

From my experience German is mandatory as there is a high chance of you getting staffed on local projects. Most of the time people are reluctant to speak in English.

lol it can be and is an international environment but you still need to know German since there’s a high chance you’ll be working with German clients, not to mention having a harder time bonding with colleagues if you don’t at least fully understand German

We are quite international, but you do have to speak German to join our offices or to be staffed on most of our projects. We do have however a lot of non-native speakers/foreigners who join, myself included. Germany has a large internal market, but we have a lot of international projects and staffing too. At least a third of my projects were outside of Germany.
