Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Very smart peers, high impact work, opportunity to work on a variety of projects, incredible exit opportunities, great pay. You'll overall learn a tremendous amount, working with some of the smartest in business.

Cons

Very long and unpredictable hours, very fast pace, sometimes political. Overall, be ready to work very hard, with a great deal of last minute / very fast moving work.

Business Outlook

Pros

I think that BCG offers good training and great business exposure. It is very easy for the employees to get strong connections with real business world.

Cons

You have to take the long working hour. Travelling is far more frequent than other types of jobs. It is not easy to keep the balance between work and family life.

Principal

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Really strong firm with a great track record both in the market and with their staff (forbes best list). Great benefits Strong management and strategic direction (better than other firms I've worked at)

Cons

Still a very challenging industry and business model that requires long hours at all levels Compensation is generally cash based so does not have the same upside as equity driven compensation
