      Pros

      Good career opps, mentorship & growth. The people are nice and interesting considering that they are consultants & benefits amazing.

      Cons

      Not sustainable. Lots of empty promises made on what's possible and how much they care about people. They will give you all the perks but at the end of the day you are working like a mule and they have no concern for you burning out. The accelerated 'learnings' are because you consistently shove two normal work days into one with very few breaks, if at all. Very little flexibility on the type of work that you do if you don't want to be stuck in a boring industry. Lots of empty promises on DE&I as well. The pay is good but it's too similar to other firms that won't work you this much.

      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.
