Pros

Diverse set of opportunities available across a wide range of industry and functions accelerates learning. Constantly supported by the company broadly as well key partners within the office. The flexibility provided to choose your path and the professional development opportunities are unparalleled.

Cons

High travel requirements were the primary negative. Occasionally, you would be staffed on a project where workstyles are incompatible, but that is mitigated by the nature of project-based work having a defined endpoint and opportunities to roll onto new teams.

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.
