Pros

Beautiful office and location. Great benefits. Employees generally do like working here.

Cons

Very concerning when issues arise with foreign managers. Management will not seek to provide proper assistance/support. Only out for themselves. Upper management/HR does not seek the full story of situations and will only work to protect the company/upper management. Do not take a position if your manager is based in India. Generally horrific management from that side.

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.
