Everyone who has any interest at all in consulting would love to work for McKinsey. I appreciated having a guide such as this to read. It's clear the author was well connected to insiders in the organization. I got a good feel for the organization and I also liked that the guide wasn't all glowing and full of BS, despite McKinsey's god-like status in the consulting world. I liked that it talked to the Enron scandal and included a negative piece in the Recommended Reading section. It shows me that the author and wetfeet aren't trying to blow sunshine up my ...; that they're giving me a full picture of the organization, so that i can go into the interviews better prepared and able to ask the harder questions that will surely impress recruiters more than just parroting back the stuff anyone can get off the McKinsey corporate website.

This report was outdated. A more comparatively updated report on McKinsey is the Vault.com 2002 report on McKinsey, about 50 pages.

This guide is good for interview prep or for deciding if McKinsey is where you really want to be. It provided info on the lifestyle, how the company is doing, and what employees did or didn't like about working there. Very useful guide.

This guide provides great insight into McKinsey - info is very current and helpful in the interview process

This book helped me! It's a great book that you can use to know better the company you have always wanted to know. The text is pretty clear! You can't miss the opportunity to read this book if you want to join McKinsey & Co.
