Pros

BCG pays well but it lost all credibility with how they have been getting rid of consultants. It is worthless to earn 190K+ if you don't have job security.

Cons

A lot of pressure and stress. The money is not worth it, mostly now that your job is not even secure. There is no culture or incentives to help people succeed - the rule of the jungle: everyone trying to protect their interests, no collaboration, no support to help people succeed.

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.
