McKinsey Unpacked

McKinsey Unpacked

Curious about what it’s really like to work at McKinsey? Want to go beyond our careers site and hear ‘real talk’ from McKinsey colleagues about our firm culture, partnering with clients, and our recruiting process?

Join us for McKinsey Unpacked, our monthly webcast where we unpack the real McKinsey experience.

We’re Marie Padberg and Blair Ciesil, partners (and long-time friends) who co-lead our global hiring for McKinsey. We started this monthly series to share more about who we are as a firm, what kind of people thrive in our high-performance yet fun environment, why we have stayed for over two decades, and more.

Every month, we invite a different colleague to help us explore a particular topic through their lens while also sharing their experience. As we hope you’ll discover, everyone here is unique.

McKinsey Unpacked is non-evaluative and open to individuals from all regions and backgrounds who are interested in learning more about our firm, our people, and the work we do.

Interested? Sign up for our next session or catch up on past episodes.
