^in my experience, they tend to jump in haphazardly without thinking about if what they’re saying actually answers the original question

If you were to hire all three to help you with golf:
McKinsey would send you tiger woods to golf for you
Bain would sit there and watch you swing the club a millions times until you got it
And bcg would send out scientists to run analytics on the perfect way to swing your club.

McK1- if you think about it, BCG1 is speaking about BCG's culture by offering an example of how they prioritize a safe work environment for their employees. Doesn't matter if you're a rockstar- if you're an asshole, they won't keep you

BCG is nerdy, McK is pretentious, Bain is fratty

Been at bcg for 3 yrs; there was a manager who partners loved, clients liked and was a kickass consultant, etc but he said some things the team found offensive/violated vale’s and he was let go. Can’t speak to bain/mck

I’d push back and say we’re not fratty, just collegial and tight-knit. I was so nervous during recruiting because I’m the farthest from fratty 😜

@BCG1, I think it might be an office thing. In one of the CEMA offices we had a lateral who routinely made people cry and treated juniors poorly and they slapped him on the wrist and promoted him because he generated revenue

@A1 do you mean McK focus more on staff aug than the other two?

Thanks for all the legitimate advice..

(Point in case)

I’ve heard Bain being called white male world , again not my personal judgement but an opinion from a lot of my friends who either are working in Bain or left in 3 years
