Pros

BTS is an incredibly exciting place to work, and actually a true meritocracy. Entering the company as a 22 year old that didn't know anything, I had tremendous mentors along the way to teach me everything I needed to know. There is a culture of challenging people to do great work, and providing coaching along the way. BTS has some great leaders and I honestly expect them to do great things. Lastly - the culture and people there are incredible! Everyone talks about freedom and responsibility, but BTS truly offers that. There is a culture of respect for people's lives, and the leadership embraces/lives the values.

Cons

For full disclosure - I did leave the organization, but only because I wanted a career change, not because of anything I didn't like there. The only thing that was slightly difficult during my time there was the work-life balance. But I don't think its any more than a typical consulting company. Traveling will be a part of the job, and it really just depends on the person. I loved the pace initially, but everyone is different and timing is important to consider as well. The good thing is, as long as you bring it up with management, they are very respectful of that and will work around to help accommodate your life.

Pros

Tons of great travel opportunities (all over the world); top tier clients; great opportunity to develop your public speaking skills.

Cons

BTS pretends they are a consulting firm, but really they are a training company. Generally, companies hire consulting firms when they want an outside opinion on something. BTS's clients do not expect an opinion from BTS on any business issues whatsoever because that's not what they pay for. Clients pay BTS to parrot whatever strategic message senior management is looking to push out to the organization and nothing more. If you are looking for an intellectually engaging experience, you will not find it here. The people who have been around for a long time (including, not surprisingly, the senior managers and directors of the company) are equally uninspiring. The best talent in the company are those who are going to leave as soon as they can find a better opportunity. As a result, turnover among new hires is really high. Don't be wooed by the siren song of travel and exposure to top management of top tier companies. You'll feel like little more than an errand boy (or girl) and the juice just isn't worth the squeeze. You will find yourself looking towards the door in six months or less.
