Pros

Allowed to work fully remote.

Cons

Product Manager over our software engineer team didn't know any programming. And gave us unrealistic deadlines and would be unprofessional and sigh or show other signs of frustration when things weren't going her way.

Not for Everyone

Pros

BCG is a super successful company full of whip-smart people, and they seem to truly uphold their ethical code. The pay is solid, and the benefits are outstanding. These are the things that drew me to BCG.

Cons

It is NOT for everyone. Know yourself. Do you enjoy being in a high-stress environment? Constantly responding to new problems and issues that arise the moment they happen? Working 10-hour days regularly? If the answer is no, don't take the job. The pay will not compensate for your unhappiness. Be aware that once an offer is issued, the team launches into "conversion mode" and reaches out with multiple excited emails and phone calls. They are genuine, sure - but the ultimate goal is for you to sign the offer. Not sure if the harder truths about working at BCG will ever come out during the conversion period.

Pros

One year sets up for strong foundation of corporate expertise

Cons

Intense management environment and very stuffy, unless you graduated from MIT or HBS you do not matter.
