The rule of the jungle

Pros

BCG pays well but it lost all credibility with how they have been getting rid of consultants. It is worthless to earn 190K+ if you don't have job security.

Cons

A lot of pressure and stress. The money is not worth it, mostly now that your job is not even secure. There is no culture or incentives to help people succeed - the rule of the jungle: everyone trying to protect their interests, no collaboration, no support to help people succeed.

Pros

Compensation, benefits, the great majority of the people are nice and willing to help, meaningful work, meaningful relationships with coworkers

Cons

-Long hours (but expected) -The Miami office is unfortunately run by an indian gang. They are protected and seem to be untouchable, some of them thinking of themselves as superiors (this doesn't apply to every Indian person; just the few that are involved in this scheme) - You oftentimes must put on a fake act so that you will be seen as favorable to the "feds" inside the office. - Your experience will completely depend on your project and your leaders. You can have great leaders that make a project enjoyable or a more difficult project bearable, or you can have horrible leaders that will make any project you are in unbearable. - Team and case reviews are often biased and inaccurate, as your team leaders, if bad leaders, will practically force you to answer positively through small indirect acts of intimidation. Even though these are anonymous, teams are compromised sometimes of 2 or 3 members, so they will more than likely know who is responding to what.

Pros

Smart colleagues and medical benefits

Cons

Hires too many people, and then lets go too many people. I joined the firm believing in a career growth but was blind sighted by being placed in PIP. Cannot trust anything they say anymore.
