McKinsey: what is internal perception/reputation of your different practices? For instance, corporate finance practice is the most sought after but yields ~80 hour weeks, M&S practice is the most collegial, etc.

Although I’m not even sure whether those are ways in which practices are internally perceived/discussed, I’m still curious!

It’s a non-MECE thing. You’ll hear people talk about offices being nice (DEN, DCO) or unpleasant (NYO), sectors and practices being brutal-but-protective (PEPI) or mafia-like (semiconductors) or caring/apprenticeship-focused (public sector, org), etc. But I don’t have a clear stereotype of CLE or Chem/Ag or Risk, as examples.

Should NYO be avoided? Is it unbearably unpleasant?

You should tag the company for reach

Depends on geography, but financial services does tend to attract more old-school type people.

As mentioned above its driven by the location and the clients we have there. For instance financial services/telco the problems tend to be easy(we have done it before so it's copy paste) but the locations to not have great work life balance (new York, dubai, London, Singapore) and we tend to not serve clients on their main issue. In public sector its far less cookie cutter and the clients generally hire us for politically difficult problems so it creates alot of churn before you get to a client acceptable answer. PE in general is bad though world wide, swfs are the worst out of the pe bunch (having moved to one I tell you we are not easy on teams)
