McKinsey & Company is a management consulting firm that's notoriously hard to break into. Last year, McKinsey and other consulting firms like Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Co. were forced to make their summer internship programs virtual in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Insider spoke with two former summer associates about what life was like at McKinsey during their virtual internships, and how they made the most out of their experiences. While UCLA MBA candidate Katie Solomon spent the summer working on social impact case related to COVID-19, Ikenna (Ike) Enwere, a business student at Wharton, collaborated with McKinsey's digital and analytics practice.
