McKinsey & Company Does anyone have experience working at/with Periscope at McKinsey? What are your feelings on WLB, relationship with rest of McKinsey, culture, etc ? Looking at product management/design roles at the company. Thank you in advance. McKinsey & Company

Evolving practice, limited learning, very limited/no exposure to onsite opportunities, bad work life balance, repetitive work (as you have to work on the same solution across all the clients)

Periscope comes under Mckinsey Knowledge Centre which is basically the back end office. Mostly you will come across support based projects which requires you to work for 18-24 months for the same client.

- Working under one of the practices which uses Periscope for 3+ years.

Thanks for your insights! You mention evolving practice - do you think the practice (and platform) are evolving to address the cons you list or no?

I hope it addresses the concerns. Hasn't happened as yet and I am personally not very positive about any sudden change.

Have my closing interview with Accenture next week. So far the Director and MD I have met with have both liked me and the recruiter has said that they have both given me a thumbs up and that the upcoming closing interview with the MD is just a conversation. From my research I’ve also read that it’s just a sanity check to make sure I’m not a nutcase. Of course anything can happen, but I’m expecting an offer. (Cont)

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Writing annual goals. What are examples of how to write “quantifiable” goals as a consultant? Are you measuring number of relationships built, projects, or something else?

Most of consulting is advising on solutions to problems, but I don’t control the outcome, whether the advice is implemented, or the budget. Sales is easy (e.g. “sell $2M of products/services this year”) because there is a clearly defined measurement. What can consultants measure?
