Does MBB use microsoft product (Excel, power point,etc) only ? Or do they also use google product (google slides, google sheets,etc) ?
The reason why I am asking is that some features are different on excel and google sheet. Just want to make sure I get used once starting the job. Thanks so much
Hello,
MBB generally uses Microsoft products, but it will depend on the project and the client. You might also be using products like Tableau and Alteryx for visual outputs. In my experience at McKinsey I never once used Google products, but it isn't out of the question. If you're asking for preparation purposes, I would focus on the Microsoft suite.
Most consults use MS Office. The exact version varies - though it is converging to Office 365. Each consult has its own “special shortcuts” toolbar built-in to PowerPoint which also has provision for dedicated client templates. For graphs, most consults use ThinkCell. And in general for laptops - most commonly you'll find ThinkPads (preferably X1s)
Every consulting firm (including MBB) I know of uses Microsoft. Have not come across any that uses Google
Pretty much exclusively MS Office. You won't be using Google products.
Microsoft. But also its all transferable - for example Google now has the same shortcut keys as MS…
