Career Development
For some, consulting is a lifelong endeavor while for others it is a stepping-stone to a variety of careers. MAC has historically been open to both types of career ambitions. We have a propensity to promote from within, rewarding hard work and exemplary performance with greater challenges and opportunities for rewards. Yet, we also bring in those with relevant industry experience and skills who can complement and build our capabilities. Whether we make hiring decision for an entry level or experienced consultant, we commit to the success of that individual. Through structured and informal training, new employees are exposed to different problem solving approaches as well as proprietary tools and techniques. They are expected to master the current state of the art, and encouraged to expand the firm's analytic capacity and solution inventory. Career advancement occurs with growth in technical proficiency, engagement management responsibility, project team leadership, and client relationship development.
For Associates hired without advanced degrees, it is common to spend a few years working at MAC, and then go back to school. MAC alumni also move to the client side – taking on attractive positions based on the highly compressed experience they gain at MAC dealing with the most critical issues of an industry.
