Pros

-The people here are absolutely fantastic -The firm invests in training for employees (both formal education and providing workshops) -The firm invests in the office culture -Great physical workspaces -Incredible health insurance (less helpful though if you're young, healthy, and childless)

Cons

If you want to grow your career here you must be on the consulting side. There are limited opportunities to get promoted in general, and for high impact opportunities, they prefer former consultants who want more work-life balance (or they will devote a team of consultants to an internal project). That doesn't leave a lot of opportunities for people wishing to grow their career. If you want a job that handles more scutwork than big impact but provides great work-life balance and benefits you'll be incredibly happy here as a BST employee.

Pros

You can’t beat the benefits. Most of the people are very friendly. Unlimited sick and personal days. 3 weeks vacation, but you may not be allowed to use it when you want to. No waiting period for benefits to be effective. Great office. Lots of free snacks and drinks. Catered lunch once a week.

Cons

Just be aware that if you accept a presentation design position at BCG, it is a production role. You will be booked on projects by 15 minute increments, which unfortunately isn’t how real creative design works. You will also be working on a PC, not a Mac, which is one of the many things that show how behind BCG design is compared to current design standards. Promotions and titles are arbitrary, not based on skills or expertise. Senior level work is no different from entry level.

Pros

Amazingly clever colleagues harvested from Oxbridge Loads of money, both salary and what they willing to spend on events etc Opportunity to make suggestions and do interesting non-work stuff in "magic time"... if you have the energy left Growth and exposure

Cons

Tedious work and zero time for life outside it ? Excessive expectations and somewhat cutthroat Elitist, workaholic and competitive colleagues propagate the above - you need to be like this, too, to thrive. Very hierarchical and those outside the consulting business are second class citizens
