Pros

Outstanding company to work for. The people and teams consist of some of the brightest and most motivated individuals I've had the privilege of working with. You also build a great overall business skillset across project management, data analysis, communication, and relationship building topics.

Cons

Work life balance is weighted much more towards the work than the life. You need to be willing to strike that balance to succeed. If you're not, it will simply lead to frustration and burn out.

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.
