I understand though taking issue with The NY Times as a source though, they do have their issues, with the recent Jill Abramson plagiarism case being a good example.
LOL, were you saying the same thing about Goldman when the Abacus story came out?
Ugly news reports about what senior partners at a highly selective professional services company did != meaningful career repercussions for its alumni, most of whom were there as junior grinders rather than decision makers.
I'm not a McK alum but would definitely still recommend a talented young person with a job offer there to take it.
It's a bit preposterous, no serious professional hold this kind of prejudiced view.
Yahoo, McK, GS, FB, Uber, etc. might not hold the prestige it used to on your CV, but these things ebb and flow. Microsoft used to be "lame" but now it's cool again.
Moreover, even when Microsoft was "lame", its employees were still individually respected as being competent in their field (unless given a specific reason to think otherwise).
Now it’s McKinsey.
