Pros

You can’t beat the benefits. Most of the people are very friendly. Unlimited sick and personal days. 3 weeks vacation, but you may not be allowed to use it when you want to. No waiting period for benefits to be effective. Great office. Lots of free snacks and drinks. Catered lunch once a week.

Cons

Just be aware that if you accept a presentation design position at BCG, it is a production role. You will be booked on projects by 15 minute increments, which unfortunately isn’t how real creative design works. You will also be working on a PC, not a Mac, which is one of the many things that show how behind BCG design is compared to current design standards. Promotions and titles are arbitrary, not based on skills or expertise. Senior level work is no different from entry level.

Pros

Amazingly clever colleagues harvested from Oxbridge Loads of money, both salary and what they willing to spend on events etc Opportunity to make suggestions and do interesting non-work stuff in "magic time"... if you have the energy left Growth and exposure

Cons

Tedious work and zero time for life outside it ? Excessive expectations and somewhat cutthroat Elitist, workaholic and competitive colleagues propagate the above - you need to be like this, too, to thrive. Very hierarchical and those outside the consulting business are second class citizens

Pros

- Interesting, impactful work - great pay - incredibly talented colleagues - Geographical flexibility For those who love it, BCG is a perfect job. I always feel like I have an inside track to how the world works with the work I do here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lots of travel, long hours, difficult social situations to navigate. I feel like I spend tons of time trying to avoid the pitfalls of others' un-examined cognitive biases.
