Pros

Free lunch at the office and free health insurance

Cons

Con artist MDPs self-claimed CEOs, doing PPT strategy consulting to the client using MBA buddies back door relationships. Not a single person knows what they are talking about digital transformation except they can make 2nd class PPT presentation. They hired me to a subsidiary called Platinion to teach MBA guys about digital technologies but it didn't go well and ended up in court.

Pros

Great place to work if you’re on the right team, however there are lots of pockets of resistance throughout the organization, whether in consulting where people are still clinging onto billable work that slowly dying or in IT where people still think ITIL and exit gates in waterfall is still applicable in the type of work we do now you're going to run into friction and lots of people that are trying to earn a spot not by competence, evolution, and change but by clinging on to processes that are antiquated. IT definitely needs a reboot

Cons

Not many. If you're on the right team. If you're on the wrong team, get ready for bureaucratic hell

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.
