Pros

Tremendous learning and development opportunities Respect and trust to individuals is at the core of BCG Very effective two way (up/down) feedback mechanism

Cons

Albeit there are strong guidelines, tools and processes (e.g. PTO) work hours are not always predictable and manageable but again nobody should sign up to this job if predictable and easy hours are their first priority The rule of the game/success is "perception management" and if you can't get it right you are on a slippery slope...

Pros

Good work environment, good people to work for. Salary was okay, benefits were good, the office environment was almost always pleasant. Didn't experience any bad office politics or workplace drama while I was there.

Cons

There is no career movement possible for admin. The only way to grow is to leave.

Pros

In my opinion the best of the big consulting firms. The partners really care about your success, you get real, meaty projects. You work with your clients rather than on them.

Cons

Work life balance is always going to be very tough. The travel grinds you down. And at the end of the day you might not be able to turn your consulting experience into the job you want outside BCG, because all you really know is strategy and analysis, and not how to do a "real" job.
