Pros

- Incredible community of like-minded people looking to genuinely help and grow one another - Amazing benefits - Great pay - Excellent perks (free lunches, lots of in office snacks, summer retreats, Holiday gifts) - Managers who genuinely care about you - Great training and resources - Good work/life balance for EAs, generally not expected to work outside of your normal office hours and most colleagues respect that

Cons

- EA work is extremely fast-paced and the calendars are always changing, not for the faint of heart - Some coworkers (typically Consultants or Project Leaders) would tend to only have a transactional relationship with EA's and make no effort to treat them as colleagues, but thankfully they were few and far between

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.
