After a year of exile, McKinsey & Company, a top global consulting firm, will be allowed to participate in the recruiting program offered by the Office of Career Services (OCS) next fall.
McKinsey was banned from the recruiting program, which helps interested upperclass students find jobs with a variety of companies, for conducting some of its 1999 interviews off-campus, in violation of OCS policy.
"Now that McKinsey has agreed to our rules, they are coming back on campus," said Judy Murray, the director of recruiting at OCS. "[Hosting students off-campus] wasn't fair to other companies."
The recruiting program generally attracts nearly 400 companies and hosts about 6,000 interviews on campus each year.
Murray welcomed McKinsey back to campus.
"We have a very good relationship with them," she said. "We respect McKinsey and we know that students love to work with them."
Harvard students apparently love the firm so much that its off-campus status this past year mattered little, if at all.
Rachel L. Brown '01, who will be working next year in McKinsey's Atlanta office, said she was not affected by the extra travel time.
