      Quality output and good opportunities with some political issues

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High level of competence in staff and good quality output. Good job opportunities after, although alumni network is not strong overseas. Flexibility in time off was good - no specific hours as work had to be done at high quality, but if you didn't need to be in the office, then you didn't come in as there would invariably be a project you'd work insane hours on (so take leave when you can get it).

      Cons

      Hours, politics... depending on your office, there are some poorer quality principals/directors who the company isn't willing to get rid of. Offices are also getting more homogenous than they were re: types of people they employ.

      Wouldn't change a thing

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are generally very nice and smart, without being arrogant. Really enjoyed learning about the quirks people had at the firm (and there were many!). Definitely the smartest bunch of people I've ever worked with.

      Cons

      The culture is very feedback intensive. Perhaps too much focus on the minutae of areas for development while not enough praise for jobs well done.

      Steep learning curve, toxic office culture

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The learning curve is very steep. You are given a ton of responsibility right away and there are a vast number of resources and mentors that support you along the way. The level of exposure to a variety of industries and functions is also a big plus, especially if you are not sure what your long-term career goals are. The perks are great. In addition to a good base salary, BCG offers high performance and signing bonuses, profit sharing, 15 days PTO, and a generous expense account. Expect to stay in the nicest hotels and eat at the most expensive restaurants on a regular basis.

      Cons

      Although BCG prides itself on a strong work-life balance, this is hardly the case. 70+ hour weeks are the norm, so on a per-hour basis, we are definitely under-compensated compared to our peers in investment banking. Also, in the San Francisco office, there appears to be a lack of strategy-oriented work. Most of the work has recently been operational and process-oriented for non-Fortune 100 companies. Also, there is very poor communication from upper-management regarding staffing, promotion decisions, bonuses, the business pipeline, etc. This has led to a toxic office culture characterized by rather unhappy employees (especially at the more junior levels).
