Pros

-Terrific place to start a career.... ... lots of peers in a similar life stage ... great exposure to brilliant senior partners / business strategists ... quick learning ... generous benefits, 'premium' travel policies ... a lot of really beautiful offices ... wide alumni network, having moved on a few years ago... still keep in touch with a lot of BCGers

Cons

... huge variance in WLB depending on project and leadership team, I would just expect to not have a life during the work week (although weekends usually free) ... if you want to see impact through to execution, that may not be a part of the project

Pros

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Cons

BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
