Pros

Good pay Best benefits Nice offices

Cons

The company operates in business consulting and lacks a focus on software projects. Many engineers face layoffs within two years, regardless of their talent or industry reputation, often with performance being cited as the reason. Every six months, employees are required to justify why they should keep their job, but without access to meaningful projects, proving your value becomes nearly impossible.

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.
