Notable alumni, including Sundar Pichai and Sheryl Sandberg, have hailed McKinsey’s learning programs. However, its reputation has been tarnished by controversial past projects like advising Enron. The DOJ’s probe adds to McKinsey’s challenges amid post-pandemic shifts and concerns over overhiring. McKinsey has yet to comment on the investigation and recent reports of idle employees.
