Pros

The benefits, compensation and perks are good, and people are nice.

Cons

Lots of empty promises made on what's possible and how much they care about your success. They will give you all the perks but at the end of the day you are working like a dog, and managers are not concerned about you burning out. The partners are allowed to disrespect and talk down to you without accountability...management does not have your 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.
