Pros

BCG is an incredible company to work for, they really take great care of their employees by paying for you & your families entire health care premiums (you literally pay 0 out of your paycheck, I've never had to meet a ded. or pay a copay). You also get unlimited PTO/sick days and about 3 weeks vacation. We have also been WFH since the pandemic started and are still remote.

Cons

I think that they only con is that the pay range for administrative assistants is too low. But being able to WFH and having my families medical totally paid for kind of makes up for it... but it's definitely something that will keep me from staying at BCG. They also require an insane work load, as an assistant you will be fully supporting 8-10 people which is madness.

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.
