Boston Consulting Group reviews

- DRS does not reflect BCG at all in terms of culture and opportunities - case engagement is very limited (often you do just data pulls) - DRS is very process-driven and researchers (i.e. people) are referred to as 'capacity' - growth prospect are limited as you only get to do request coordination when you get more senior - overall it does not satisfy the intellectual curiosity of the high-calibre people they hire

Day-to-day work is repetitive, boring, and essentially the same at Associate Researcher or Research level. (These two roles have a combined average tenure of ~5 years, meaning that someone who signs on with minimal experience is looking at 5 years of the same repetitive, boring work.) Environment is high pressure and extremely deadline driven, but returns on individual efforts are too low to motivate sustained exertion. Attrition is extremely high. While lip service is paid to career opportunities within the firm, these don't seem to actually be available. On-the-job skills learned in DRS are very specific to DRS and largely nontransferable. Base compensation is low compared to industry. Management team (with a handful of exceptions) is insufficiently trained and lacks management experience. A number of members of the management team perform consistently below the expected level of quality across dimensions.
