That's really key. A company actually interested in technology wouldn't be in the situation of having an engineering team they have no idea how to manage.
So the target here is the kind of company that probably ended there by throwing money around, and would like to throw money at this problem as well. McKinsey will be there whenever there's money to be thrown at a problem.
- pydry 3y agoGiven that it's McKinsey and given the current times theyre almost certainly looking to sell their "developer layoff consulting package" to provide nothing but the finest steak dinners, strippers and ass covering justifications for executives looking to cargo cult big tech. Their highly sciency formula of number of commits divided by SLOC of the average pull request plus average response time on slack will scientifically segregate your company's developers by productivity. I do hope we see a follow up on Hacker News - how to game the fuck out of McKinsey's top secret developer productivity formula.
