Pros

a) Incredible amount of responsibility at a young tenure; I started at BCG right out of undergrad and am now leading teams and projects. It has been an incredible journey b) Mentorship and development; I can name at least 3 mentors that I have had at BCG for the past 3+ years who I know have my back / will support me and have helped me develop into a strong team leader. In this project leader role, I am excited for my opportunity to now mentor and support the next generation at BCG c) Opportunities; Through BCG, I have had the opportunity to take on a project in Amsterdam for 3 months, temporarily transfer to our Melbourne office in Australia, take extended / flexible leave for a global vacation, and work on the topics that most excite me. Incredibly thankful for all of the opportunities at BCG!

Cons

No major negatives to highlight. This is a job where you have to work hard, but the investment pays off big time! :)
