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.

After two tech round received email for documents. HR said that she will discuss regarding my expected offer with the team after receiving documents from my side which I sent yesterday.

Hi Guys,
I have been assigned to a Unbillable Project, they are building one app and have recruited people from the talent pool. The project is not registered in GLOW. And they are calling it as Voluntary Contribution type project for studio. Is this what they call Internal Project in

Will there be any impact if I don't perform as per their expectations?
Will it be of any benefit to me if work in voluntary project? Will HR recognize this project contribution as valid work?

Think it is funny how recruiters seem to think the vague description "national market paying firm in X city" is at all enticing to one already at a national market paying firm in X city.
