What can I expect from McKinsey onboarding?

Starting FT with McKinsey soon as a new grad hire. What can I expect to do at the “Immersion Days” and the “Embark Program”? Is it fun?

Hi there,

McKinsey onboarding is structured but also designed to be engaging. As a new grad hire, here’s what you can expect:

Immersion Days

  • Typically office-level, before you go to global training.
  • Focused on introducing you to your home office culture, leadership team, and support resources (professional development managers, staffing coordinators, mentors).
  • You’ll meet your start group (other new joiners) and often do light case/skill workshops, networking events, and team-building activities.
  • It’s a chance to get comfortable with the people and the local environment you’ll be working in.

Embark Program

  • This is the global onboarding, usually held with new consultants from many different offices around the world.
  • You’ll go through structured training on problem-solving, communication, and consulting toolkits.
  • Expect simulations of client work, group exercises, and coaching from experienced consultants.
  • The emphasis is also on building your international network – you’ll spend a lot of time bonding with peers over dinners, activities, and social events.

Is it fun?

  • Yes – many people remember onboarding as one of the highlights of their first year. It’s lighter and more social than real project work.
  • You’ll get to travel (if in-person), meet inspiring people, and form friendships with your cohort.

Overall, onboarding is a mix of learning, networking, and fun – designed to make you feel part of McKinsey before the real client work starts.

Best,

Evelina
