Pros
Wonderful place to get exposure to a variety of different industries and people. Steep growth curve allows you to take your skill set to the next level. Great group of highly talented, motivated people. Typically work on the most important projects for senior leadership at clients. Among the elite management consulting firms, BCG is very focused on ideas/ innovation and the diversity of its people.
Cons
Up or out model. Pace of work can be intense, particularly at the junior levels before you learn how to control your schedule. Although there are many efforts to share knowledge formally across the organization, informal networks tend to be more powerful, leading at times to silo'd or duplicated efforts.
