Pros

Compensation, benefits, the great majority of the people are nice and willing to help, meaningful work, meaningful relationships with coworkers

Cons

-Long hours (but expected) -The Miami office is unfortunately run by an indian gang. They are protected and seem to be untouchable, some of them thinking of themselves as superiors (this doesn't apply to every Indian person; just the few that are involved in this scheme) - You oftentimes must put on a fake act so that you will be seen as favorable to the "feds" inside the office. - Your experience will completely depend on your project and your leaders. You can have great leaders that make a project enjoyable or a more difficult project bearable, or you can have horrible leaders that will make any project you are in unbearable. - Team and case reviews are often biased and inaccurate, as your team leaders, if bad leaders, will practically force you to answer positively through small indirect acts of intimidation. Even though these are anonymous, teams are compromised sometimes of 2 or 3 members, so they will more than likely know who is responding to what.

Pros

Great place to work if you’re on the right team, however there are lots of pockets of resistance throughout the organization, whether in consulting where people are still clinging onto billable work that slowly dying or in IT where people still think ITIL and exit gates in waterfall is still applicable in the type of work we do now you're going to run into friction and lots of people that are trying to earn a spot not by competence, evolution, and change but by clinging on to processes that are antiquated. IT definitely needs a reboot

Cons

Not many. If you're on the right team. If you're on the wrong team, get ready for bureaucratic hell

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.
