      Pros

      -Development and learning -Coworkers at the junior level -Exit opportunities

      Cons

      -Hours -Work life balance -At more senior levels, the 'fair and balanced' review structure becomes arbitrary and highly dependent on finding folks who are willing to lie and say you are perfect 100% of the time I was on a 2x a week presentation to the CEO project that was burning me out mentally and physically. At a Friday meeting, the CEO returned back to the work that our team had done to effusively compliment us and our efforts. Later that afternoon, my absentee principal ripped into me for not doing it faster (it was completed in 2 days). I spoke to a headhunter the following Monday and never looked back.

      Doing such important work, but hypocrites in how they treat their people

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working with clients on incredibly important issues, especially DEI and sustainability. Senior leadership is very clear about where they stand and is willing to change the business model of all BCG to reflect our values.

      Cons

      Outside of the consulting track, they use compensation as a negative reinforcement mechanism rather than to reward and recognize. Consultants are seen as high-potential and critical, and are taken care of. Non-consultants in enabling areas, despite our own huge contributions to the client cases and the bottom line, are treated like they are lucky to work at BCG and should be happy to receive the bare minimum for their work. The company champions mobility but allows toxic managers to prevent people from moving into the roles that are best for them.
