BCG - Data and Research Services (DRS) - The best place to ruin your career
Pros
1. Meager office perks such as free food. 2. Can't remember anything else
Cons
This is the only section that defines how working at "DRS" is like. The team has the worst kind of ethics-related procedure. Nothing is followed according to the ethics provided in the charter but is dependent on the whims and fancies of the director and the senior manager. This entity lures people from the market on the behest of its respectable company's brand name - BCG, but it's nothing close to it. I will break it down to discuss the different paradigms. 1. Culture - The entity is run by a cartel of directors, senior managers, and managers who do things according to their will without any check. People at the senior level are mostly not qualified enough to answer queries on the industries they are handling. If they found out that you know more than them, get ready for an egoistic clash and a round of denigration on most of the matters. Getting a promotion is pretty easy, you just need to keep on agreeing on the crap made by the management. If you do the above, you are sure to go places and earn promotion otherwise you might end up in a spot where they continuously find ways to mentally harass you. I was amazed to see that senior people most of the time don't have any work and are just passing time in the company - getting complacent with their inability. The senior management lack industry knowledge and cannot groom you accordingly - chances are you would know more than them. Concerns to the HR are never heard since every news goes out to the senior management who then dictate accordingly. The management completely lives in their world and deem most of the laterals as culturally unfit - coming from the people who have stayed their entire life here and saying it to people who have done meaningful work globally - that's how irony looks. The choice is yours, if you want to make your career or break your career.
