There are amazing people at McKinsey, it might just takes time to find the people you will click with. I came in not super sure if I would fit in the “McKinsey culture” as an introvert but was really surprised by how supportive everyone on my teams were and how I was able to find my family of friends and mentors here. While WLB might get tough sometime, I don’t think I would have grown as fast I could have if I went elsewhere. And with the things you learned on the job + McKinsey brand, it really does open a lot of doors for exit opportunities. Hope this helps!
Both good at bad people at both firms. You won't necessarily work with the same people that you interacted with while interviewing at either firm... So I'd say go for McKinsey.
Pro
Interviewed at both and had a similar impression. But I did not have the privilege of receiver an offer from both.
Go with McKinsey. People come and go, but the McKinsey reputation in your resume will stay.
Also, you can find good people and assholes on both companies. You just have to be observant and selective when deciding who to work with and you’ll be fine.
