Why McK?

Having trouble thinking of an answer to this question. I can answer it for Bain and BCG but having trouble thinking of an answer for McK because from my conversations with them it seems they have an intense, perfectionist sort of culture but I obviously can't say that in the interview. 

Any advice on their culture?

For bain I am talking about the PE focus and for BCG they have digital venture, gamma, etc. i can’t find anything for McK that’s unique though

 

Oh ok thanks! I was under the impression that why this firm questions was a popular one.

 

Lmao if you can't even answer this don't even think about getting a McK offer. Stay content with BCG/Bain
