What’s it like at McKinsey (US) right now?

Incoming BA, am starting this summer. I know it varies by office, sector, and tenure, but would any BAs or Acs be willing to share what their experience is like right now? Hours, travel frequency, staffing opps, overall morality. Just hoping to get a sense of things before I start. thank you!
