Do McKinsey teams work for competing companies?
Two different McKinsey teams may occasionally work for competing clients. However, there are very specific and time-proven directives for this kind of situation. A “Chinese wall” is established between the two teams, preventing them from exchanging information in either formal or informal settings. In addition to this Chinese wall, both engagements are considered strictly confidential, with no one outside the team having access to any information on the client or on the engagement.
