Besides getting access to great training programs and exposure to all different sides of the business, McKinsey has a lot to offer employees.
For one, its Take Time program lets consultants take up to ten weeks per year off, beyond vacation time, to engage in personal interests or passions -- anything from going on a dream trip, spending time with family or pursuing a hobby.
After a couple years, young employees are also given the chance to focus on something new. This can mean changing focus or location or taking on a special assignment like working in the office of the firm's managing director. The idea here is that employees can grow and seek out areas of interest in order to enhance their knowledge base and gain valuable experience.
