It was very weird for me. They couldn't differentiate between coaching vs Transformation. I concluded that McK digital was immature and took up a rival offer as a result. Ask them about Agile @ Edge engagements. Interviews are quite soft. Describe how you would go about coaching executives vs coaching teams etc. Good luck!

Applied for what I thought is a transformation role. But the interviewers were all non-transformational folks. What they described as transformation was that “Agile @ Edge”, which is honestly not real transformation. Their ING white paper has some meaningful stuff and I have no idea which team did that case, but it surely wasn’t the “Digital McK” team I interviewed with.

Nothing against McK or my interviewers. I interviewed with BCG and ATK around the same time. BCG and ATK had real transformational practitioners during the interview. But McKs folks were weird, knew less than I did and weren’t even sure what they were selling me on. As an example, McK threw a “former internal McK project manager who after 20 years of experience wanted to move into consulting/Agile and had taken up the CSM certification”. Good for the person, but probably shouldn’t be sent in to do an interview for a transformation role. Knew nothing about DevOps, design thinking, products management, operating models etc. I gave my feedback to the recruiter who said McK would course correct, but the next interviewer was also a bit weird.

Hopefully, your experience is different, but mine just left a bad taste in my mouth regarding McK.

@M1 thank you SOOO much. Was yours for coaching or transformation consultant? Like you mentioned, the description is kinda vague.

@M1 - you have been so helpful thank you so much. Can I ask what the salary range for your position was? There is literally nothing on Glassdoor about this so i don’t want to under/over ask.
