      Amazing Company, Great Benefits, Supportive Coworkers

      Executive assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Incredible community of like-minded people looking to genuinely help and grow one another - Amazing benefits - Great pay - Excellent perks (free lunches, lots of in office snacks, summer retreats, Holiday gifts) - Managers who genuinely care about you - Great training and resources - Good work/life balance for EAs, generally not expected to work outside of your normal office hours and most colleagues respect that

      Cons

      - EA work is extremely fast-paced and the calendars are always changing, not for the faint of heart - Some coworkers (typically Consultants or Project Leaders) would tend to only have a transactional relationship with EA's and make no effort to treat them as colleagues, but thankfully they were few and far between

      Strong benefits, decaying culture

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are pretty much unmatched at this level. You never have to worry if you're getting a competitive salary, top line health insurance, and other perks. Really a great place in that regard.

      Cons

      In the past two years there has been a decaying culture. At first the boom of the COVID market meant BCG over hired to meet demand, then the past year has been characterized by "silent layoffs" in which people are let go due to poor business but are told they're being let go due to performance. Everyone who is left has clung to their pyramids and cast others aside. The mentorship culture that used to be present is largely gone and I don't recognize the company I joined. I'm looking to leave.

      Great compensation used as a shelter to hide org shortcomings

      Principal
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Industry-leading compensation, an option to fast-track career, benefits, access to research on latest topics

      Cons

      An Inherent bias towards lateral hires that results in 1. A toxic level of superiority complex in in-grown consultants 2. Unavailability of opportunities for everyone 3. A cult-like working environment 4. Layoffs of lateral employees with less than 1-year tenure who didn't even get a chance to prove themselves
