Pros

Compensation, benefits, culture, travel, exposure to unique work.

Cons

Long hours, lack of ownership of the ideas you recommend to clients, must be conservative in recommendations (eg don't rock the boat at the client).

Pros

I get paid 110k base as an Associate out of college. This salary puts me in the 90-95th percentile for my age group, so I can't complain. The other Associates at BCG are very nice and I've made a lot of friends here.

Cons

The "up or out" culture means that every 6 months, there's a review to determine how well you're doing. If you perform poorly in a review, they check in in 3 months to see if you've fixed the issues. If not, then you're out. This creates a lot of stress and instability. Working 65 hours per week is standard. Which usually means 9am-11pm Monday through Thursday (if you don't take any breaks for dinner), and 9am-6pm on Friday.
