COLLABORATION

DRIVE THE DREAM

Fueling progress through collaboration

At McDonald’s, novel solutions don’t simply manifest overnight. They’re born out of focus, embracing failures and teamwork. Collaboration is the heartbeat of the company’s operations, which is why it has prioritized across the culture. McDonald's has a menu of tech challenges to choose from and the resources and people to do it. Its tech organization is made up of intrapreneurs who get to build really cool tech with scary-smart people. And it all happens with diverse, global teams who are always hungry for a challenge.

Over the past few years, Global Technology at McDonald’s has undergone a huge digital transformation, even today we continue to adopt the latest technological advances, and I feel there is a lot to learn and grow in this space.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

INNOVATE + EVOLVE

Unlocking opportunity and purpose

As McDonald’s scales its technological reach, the company encourages its employees to evolve as well. The organization knows that growth isn’t always linear, which is why its Technology Rotational Program enables university seniors and recent graduates to spend time in three roles over the course of two years. This crash course in McDonald's technology operations will allow you launch your career with exposure to areas such as cybersecurity, project management and cloud architecture while growing your network and polishing your business skills.

We’re marrying the food experience with technology, with physical formats, with restaurant operations, with community impact. Our technology has to fit into that living, breathing ecosystem.

TRANSFORMATION

CRAFT INFLUENCE

Building the ‘Big Mac sauce’ of tech

Yes, McDonald's may be best known for its burgers, and the brand routinely cracks the Top 10 lists like best brand in the world and number one food and drink app. But, it's not walking away from the table satisfied with that. In fact, its team is hungry to be known for both fries AND the side of tech that goes with it. That means McDonald’s team members can expect to develop products and features from the ground up rather than rely on commercial software. With ample technical challenges to tackle, the company's technologists have plenty of chances to hone new skills.

The main thing I love is getting to implement ideas with my team that are driving value for McDonald’s.
