Hi All, Got an offer from McKinsey for the cloud engineering role. It is based on Waltham,MA. Anyone can talk about how's their cloud native team? Options for career growth , work life balance, work culture . Also recruiter mentioned no bonus for tech role , is that something correct ? This is internal IT role not consulting and no travel. #mckinsey #worklifebalance
Nanpython what is your years of exp out of undergrad?
Have 5.5 years of experience out of masters in cs. No experience after undergrad.
Did you accept?
No I did not. I tried negotiating but the recruiter was not ready to negotiate. They have another service line - “quantam black” who pays well-I might try there in future. Overall, this Mck Waltham office is equivalent of Deloitte Delivery center.
Did you foresee the hours being typical 9-6pm or the notorious McKinsey terrible hours like 9-11pm? I’m considering an offer and don’t mind the delivery center concept bc when I leave I’ll just have McKinsey on my resume and outside companies won’t really know if I was part of a delivery center or not. Does my thinking make sense?
Hey @RVJf10, got an interview scheduled with them. Do you mind if I ping you?
Hey, wondering how your interview went. I have one soon for same position.
First of all a lot of backend cloud work at mckinsey is really shitty so you dodged a bullet: they have to maintain cloud environments for every client so a lot of cloud engineering is just maintaining the scripts to bring accounts up, export bills and then bring them down.
I would avoid. Delivery center work is pretty low status and low pay. Go work in tech.
TC?
TC or GTFO 😡
Did you accept ? What happened finally

Any Indians Think Kashmir Should be Independent?
I got offer from them for waltham location. They did not offered sign on bonus and the base pay was way below market. They offered me 120k base for data scientist position for Waltham. That office is delivery center where you would be working for consulting cloud engineers and managers with no client exposure. Once you get in you will see cloud engineers from consulting services who have same skills as you are earning way more than you.
Thanks for sharing. Yup they offered me 145k base with no sign on bonus :(
Did you have to negotiate up to 145 or was that their starting offer?
