Pros

Good work environment, good people to work for. Salary was okay, benefits were good, the office environment was almost always pleasant. Didn't experience any bad office politics or workplace drama while I was there.

Cons

There is no career movement possible for admin. The only way to grow is to leave.

Pros

In my opinion the best of the big consulting firms. The partners really care about your success, you get real, meaty projects. You work with your clients rather than on them.

Cons

Work life balance is always going to be very tough. The travel grinds you down. And at the end of the day you might not be able to turn your consulting experience into the job you want outside BCG, because all you really know is strategy and analysis, and not how to do a "real" job.

Pros

Great benefits, great perks, wonderful coworkers. Focus on work-life balance and try to be very family-friendly.

Cons

No development for non-consulting staff. I was there seven years and only had one growth opportunity. Once I passed that, it was very difficult to break into the next step.
