Pros

Amazing learning opportunities, voted 'best to work for' for years in a row now, great comp structure (no healthcare premium for example)

Cons

work/life balance obviously - this is a consulting job after all. Depending on the project and leadership, you will work an effective 50 to 80+ hours/week, with most probably around 60 hours. Note that self-training, expense report and travel are on top of that

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.
