McKinsey are involved in almost every company in the Fortune 500, and have been for decades.

Of course they're going to be around for almost any given corporate failure.

Totally agree, this is cherry-picking.

I don't have an opinion on how useful McKinsey is, but I'll note that no one is pointing out that they also did a lot of work for Microsoft before their big turnaround.

Enron and Valeant are two of the most significant examples of corporate malfeasance over the past 20 years; McKinsey or its partners were directly involved in both.

That's not cherry-picking.

I think they work more than a third of F500 companies. What's your definition of cherry picking?
