Pros

Good benefits, just have to put up with a lot of micromanagements.

Cons

Micromanagement; Managers that have no experience for that role. They use you to make themselves look good; requiring everyone to be onsite for meetings, even when you are remote, because they have to show numbers. Hanging out for team events are required, or you get questions about being supportive of the BCG team, whatever; it's a cult. Most of the people are there for the benefits; they have a very sick spouse and/or they get pregnant, once they have the baby and/or babies, they leave the company. Most people are out on leave, due high levels of stress!

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.
