MBB drug testing

Hi all,

 

recently got an offer from each MBB. Do any of the firms drug test? Or what type of clients do if the company doesn’t. Any advice would be helpful!

Nicely done, congratulations!

Haven’t ever heard of anyone getting drug tested as a standard part of the job but this may be highly dependent on the region.

As for specific projects, it may well happen. I once got tested as part of a full medical that was required to enter a client’s mining site at high altitude in the Peruvian mountains. 

I could think of more potential cases but they’re generally related to Ops/Implementation work in a dangerous environment e.g. mine, construction, oil platform, processing plant, etc.

If you’re focused on strategy alone, you should be fine!

Best of luck!

Hi there,

I personally have never ever heard of this. There might be tests depending on region and/or particularly sensitive clients. That said, again, I've never heard of it happening.

Hey there,

Lovely question. :-))

There is no drug testing at MBB or at any client.

Cheers,

Florian

No they don't. Clients don't either, but as always there's the possibility that for a valid reason a client will require a test.

Mckinsey doesn’t do drug test.  I don’t know about other firms
