McKinsey is a management consulting firm whose primary mission is to help our clients achieve substantial, lasting improvements in their performance.
You’ll work in teams of typically 3 – 5 consultants, playing an active role in all aspects of client engagement.
This includes gathering and analyzing information, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing and communicating recommendations. You’ll also have the opportunity to present results to client management and implement recommendations in collaboration with client team members.
You will receive exceptional training as well as frequent coaching and mentoring from colleagues on their teams. This support includes a Partner from your local office or practice assigned to you to help guide your career as well as several weeks of formal training in your first two years. Additionally, you’ll receive guidance and support from your local office or practice in the selection of client projects, helping you to develop your skills and build your network.
While all consultants develop specialized knowledge and a focused program as they progress with McKinsey, most are initially very broad in their focus, meaning they do not need specific industry or functional expertise to be successful. For consultants who join McKinsey as experienced professionals, this can mean building on previous knowledge or developing unique experience in an area that is completely new.
WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH
You’ll join one of our locations around the world as a Fellow. Fellows join our offices in locations around the world to work in teams and directly with our clients.
When you join McKinsey as a Fellow, you are joining a firm that will challenge you and invest heavily in your professional development. In this role you will have the opportunity to work on teams and help the best organizations in the world – across the private, public, and social sectors – solve some of their most difficult problems. You will also work with a range of experts in the firm, from data scientists to researchers to software and app designers.

Willingness to travel
With our excellent training programs, team-based approach, commitment to mentorship, and global presence, McKinsey offers you unequaled opportunities to develop your career. Working in small teams, you will have critical client responsibilities from day one. You will learn constantly, with assignments that offer opportunities to develop your strengths and create new ones. The variety of projects and clients means that our consultants often take varied paths throughout their careers at McKinsey—and beyond. Our consultants usually focus on a specific function or industry that interests them, based on their experience. Working at McKinsey enables you to gain powerful leadership and analytical skills so that you can make your mark on clients, colleagues, and the world—whether you stay at McKinsey or choose a different career path.

What we do
We work with the world’s leading organizations to solve the greatest challenges facing their senior management. Our goal is to be our clients; most trusted external advisor.
Our People
At McKinsey, we believe our people are what makes our firm a wonderful place to work. When you come to the Amsterdam office, you will join a small community of people that share your passion to develop, experience, and contribute. A big reason why so many of us came to McKinsey—and why we stay—is the privilege to work with exceptionally talented people.
Working in teams, we really get to know each other. We share our ideas and our perspectives on problems. We give and receive support and feedback. We form networks, and we develop lasting friendships.
It’s not all work
Working closely together in teams, consultants get to know their teammates well. But frequent team sports and office events—such as the Christmas dinner, Sinterklaas party, retreats and the McKinsey World Soccer cup —all provide great opportunities to make friends in the firm. And it’s also a chance to have a lot of fun!
