Nah at this point, if you are willing to sign on with a company like McKinsey it suggests you have absolutely no moral compass. What they do is very well understood.
- neilv 3y agoI'm guessing that, today, the opioid thing might've really changed how people think of it, and maybe even the undergrads who get targeted for recruitment will have heard of it. That's fairly recent, though.
- hobs 3y agoHow about being called out for targeting the brutal murder of Jamāl Aḥmad Khāshqujī? They play ball with all sorts of shitty regimes (including the united states) McKinsey has way more crimes than the opioid epidemic.
- jcranmer 3y agoThe Wikipedia article on McKinsey is over half just discussing various controversies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKinsey_%26_Company#Controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKinsey_%26_Company#Controver... This is a company that has fueled (among other things) the Enron scandals, opioid epidemic, Saudi repression of dissidents. Some of this is--as a big consulting company--it has its hands in a lot of things, so some of those things are bound to be unpleasant. But it's also clear that there doesn't appear to be much of an ethical filter for what work it takes on. I honestly would be more surprised at this point if McKinsey hasn't helped plan out a genocide.
