Business Outlook

Pros

You kind of know months ahead if you're going to let go

Cons

Sometimes I feel like the review system can be heavily dependent on your personal relationship more than your actual quantitative performance, Also getting on a new case is hard as a junior and you kind of just sit there and wait and hope for the best

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
