Boston Consulting Group reviews

Leadership lacks communication transparency. BCG has been doing "quiet layoffs" the last few months, but informing employees, clients and the public they're stable and don't let go their people. Most of these people are high performers they are laying off so they don't have to pay out their EOY bonuses. Their reputation they portray out in the public sphere is a facade. Employee morale is low and instead of being transparent they throw an office event to push the deeper issues under the rug. Also, MDPs have a god complex and treat anyone below them as pheasants and this is totally acceptable and the BCG cultural norm.

You are a commodity, you are not a human being, your feelings, problems, wants, opinions dont matter only the project matters. You are expendable. This by itself is wporrying to me but more than that its not conducive to a great working atmospohere which in general is a precondition for delivering high quality work, Im onyl a consultnat but Ik can see clients are not happy with BCGs deliverables and we are losing more and more to McKinsey and Bain, Id just say go to McKinsey or Bain for that matter. Again if money is all you care for its ok but there are other great places with great pay. And yes Im looking for something more human and supportive in the meantime Ill just make do with what I have. And also I understand this is my opinion and experience maybe for others its great not to take anything personal and treat everyone as robots.
