Pros

You will always feel like you are treated like second class citizen You might seemingly get some perks, or invites to some global meetings- but core staff (Project leaders and above) will not even want to speak with you. It is the first time I experience something like this.

Cons

Just self reflect a bit, you all seem to be so busy and important but you come across as arrogant and unpleasant. And ironically it is hard for you to win business, because you forgot how to be human

Toxic work place

Pros

* training (although being scaled back to more virtual and fewer in person) * brilliant office facilities including free coffee :) * great socials albeit poorly attended * constant learning opps. if not on bench

Cons

* lack of community in London office and around Practice Areas (although some are slightly better than others here) * most teams are psychologically unsafe environments due to fear of bad reviews and culture of 1 bad review and you are out * career opportunities not as good as they have been previously - due to massive overhiring and flooding of BCGers into the market, and less demand pull into tech/VC/PE/corporate strat teams due to economic climate

Pros

- work life balance - Nice teammates

Cons

- Management is filled with old people who just want to play filthy politics with little kids. Holding back promotions of people who deserve them and just depending on their own flawed perceptions to award and reward people - Random decisions taken arbitrarily. No transparency whatsoever - Researchers are treated like nothing in the world. Nobody cares about them. SR's take credit for the good work done by researchers and management doesn't bother to cross check. - No complexity of work. Busy pleasing the likes of KT and CT - SR's are super busy all the time. Not working but Gossiping. Management meetings are all they do. Overpaid and underworked. - Management needs to learn to stand behind their people and encourage kids. People coming from C- grade universities (every person in senior management) are busy telling prospective IIM candidates how awful the B-schools they aim to go to are. It's hilarious. And why do they do this? Because they just want you to get discouraged and stay in their team for the rest of eternity - over hiring. Sick of training people.
