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

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.
