Pros

BCG Brand Free and Good Food Training, Parties and Vacations in 5 Star hotels

Cons

Would have rated Negative if there was a rating. Long list of Cons actually - 1. Favouritism - If you spend most of your time talking to managers who like to get their empty egos massaged you'll get good projects and on-site opportunities- and promotions. 2. No work life balance- You can be asked to work from home on your vacations as things are almost always on fire and all things are due yesterday. 3. Work from home - They claim to be very employee friendly but frown and harras every time you want to WFH-unless you are on pre-informed pre-approved leave. 4. Over time: No matter how late you stayed in office for a case - you have to leave yourself for home be it 2 am at night- no concern for women's safety. 5. Lying Upper Management- I have seen upper management openly lying to freshers about kind of exposure, benefits and expected hike you'll get. 6. Mental Harassment & Toxic work environment - Hostile work environment for someone who wants to only succeed by good work and client feedback - 7. Verbal Abuse - Many times the senior most manager has been known to abuse people even in Hindi Language although that never happened to me.

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.
