Pros

BCG is one of the best places to have both a significant impact on some of the worlds top companies while also maintaining a diversity of experiences by working on a wide variety of challenging clients and problems. BCG has hired some of the best business thinkers in the world and the company affords the staff the opportunity to learn from some of the best. I originally thought that I would only be in consulting for 2 years. After 7 years here, I still continue to learn and grow while working with some of the best. I am looking forward to the next 7 years at BCG!

Cons

Work life balance is the biggest challenge at BCG. We are in a client service business and it sometimes makes it challenging to have quality hobbies and out of office activities during the weekdays.

Pros

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Cons

BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
