Completely agree. We had McKinsey crawling all over one company I worked for and in the "workstream" I was the main point of contact for they had the first meeting where they "were in listening mode" and at the end of the meeting I said "look, if your plan for this workstream is to take everything I've just told you and put it on powerpoint slides and tell it back to us while charging for your time that's not going to work. So if we have a session tomorrow you actually have to bring something". They called our CEO and shut our workstream because they said they didn't think they could add enough value. All the other workstreams continued for a while with them burning our investors' money and also all ended with a big nothingburger. Basically the team we worked with had one guy who was genuinely brilliant - razor sharp, really knew his stuff etc just great - and like 8 people there whose function was to pad the billable hours, make slides, carry printouts and drink the free coffee.
