Great company but job satisfaction depends on position
Pros
- Cutting edge learning opportunities. Internal training sessions from industry thought leaders, incorporation of new softwares and techniques into day-to-day work - Work hard play hard mentality - the organization invests in events to enhance camaraderie, thus improving retention. - Most people are very pleasant and personable compared to other professional environments. - Street cred for working at BCG is cool - The benefits are superb
Cons
- Flat organization unintendedly creates territorial behavior and rewards overly aggressive types - Some are overworked and burned out while others seemingly work very little. - Most day-to-day processes/skills are not transferrable outside of the company. - Increased organizational complexity is bogging down the back office. Data is housed in many different places and is un-aligned from department to department…creating additional issues. - Work-from-home policy depends on the manager
