Pros

-Development and learning -Coworkers at the junior level -Exit opportunities

Cons

-Hours -Work life balance -At more senior levels, the 'fair and balanced' review structure becomes arbitrary and highly dependent on finding folks who are willing to lie and say you are perfect 100% of the time I was on a 2x a week presentation to the CEO project that was burning me out mentally and physically. At a Friday meeting, the CEO returned back to the work that our team had done to effusively compliment us and our efforts. Later that afternoon, my absentee principal ripped into me for not doing it faster (it was completed in 2 days). I spoke to a headhunter the following Monday and never looked back.

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.
