Pros

Great brand, you will develop professionally Fantastic people up through the PL level - though hard to find inspiring partner role models Fantastic benefits and pay - best pay outside of the financial services industry relative to experience / tenure Work can be quite industry - get a broad range of functional areas across industries and geographies in a very short time frame - a classic strategy consulting background

Cons

It has a burn out culture - must work too hard to get ahead Promotion timing and criteria not well understood or transparent - the company will go back on previous promises, be careful

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.
