Networking is certainly a big part of advancement at the Firm, but in my 2+ years I have not felt like that means it’s a boy’s club. As a woman, I absolutely have male mentors and sponsors who have been key to my development and growth. That doesn’t mean we don’t have a gender gap challenge at senior levels, but unfortunately that’s a problem across firms and the broader business world as well.
Ty for your perspective
I’m sure there are people like this at McKinsey. And I’m sure there are people who aren’t. OP, it’s a large firm you can’t generalize. Just in the way I’m sure there are people at your company like this right now and there are people who aren’t.
If you’re not able to generalize, then I would conclude the answer is that it’s not a boys club. For example, big4 are definitely not a boys club unless you pick out specific groups, but in general it’s not.
OP - I just went through the process myself. I definitely had this view of McK going in and knowing people there, I can tell if you only have 4-5 specific interactions with those individuals, that may be the case.
But I had a great experience which totally changed my perception.
What specific instances made you feel that way?
Great to hear. Thanks for the perspective.
Specific examples given to me about interactions and making connections. Plus specific examples of issues with females around inclusion. Me being from a similar environment the examples resonated. But glad to hear not the case in yours.
I always thought it was Bain that had the boys club reputation.
My female friend definitely had this experience at Bain in a European country
Obviously we have work to be done like everyone else, but I haven’t felt like it was just a boys club. And even if it is, I definitely have felt very supported and encouraged by every single female colleague I’ve met. :)
That hasn’t been my experience but it’s possible that things are slightly different in different offices or practices
Not my experience at all - work with a lot of strong women who don’t compete that way (I’m a woman). But I’m sure it varies by individual
Not my experience either.
Not my experience. Been on several all female teams (I’m male). They support each other and me. We care about getting things done.
