Pros

BCG has a strong culture with respect for the individual and a genuine interest in making insight become impact. The work is inherently interesting (most of the time) and you learn by being challenged on a daily basis.

Cons

It's a client service business and clients come first which means there are occasions when peronal life has to budge. It's particularly tricky if travel is required when difficult from a personal perspective.

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.
