Having tried vainly and unsuccessfully to work with a former McKinsey consultant at one of Australia’s largest finance companies, I was very interested to come across this New Yorker article on Enron and McKinsey and their cult of talent.
      Weblogger Jonathan Delacour comments on the piece in today’s entry.
     
The ex-McKinseyite I had the misfortune to try to work with was arrogant, an egomaniac, worshipped by her co-workers, and desperately and deeply ignorant. She was eventually promoted sideways and then left the firm. The best of luck to whoever had the misery of hiring her next.
