Pros

Generous benefits, crazy learning and development opportunities

Cons

Highly political career development process-- don't let the "performance score" fool you into thinking this is a meritocracy. If you don't mind not being a person and sacrificing everything for your job, you'll do well. Despite being "best place to work", experienced discrimination and sexual harassment. Management aren't really interested in solving problems, just sweeping under the rug, despite HR doing their best.

Pros

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Cons

BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
