Pros

The people are the single best thing about working at BCG - bright, driven, but down-to-earth and incredibly collaborative. Culture and principles, rather than rules, govern how things get done at the firm - which in the hands of good people, mean that sensible things generally happen. Lots of flexibility support to chart your own path - you just have to have conviction around your desired goals and be realistic about life's trade-offs.

Cons

The intensity of the pace can sometimes be draining, as can the travel schedule. Despite best efforts (like the PTO initiative) - this remains a premium client-service business, and the unpredictability and hours reflect that.

Pros

Really smart people, taking analytical thinking to the next level. Focused on excellence in adding value to the client. Problem solving, pragmatism, communication and client interaction will make you a top performer.

Cons

Long hours of work and no visibility or power over your own agenda. Long time to earn people management responsibility. Long time to start specializing in industry of interest.
