Pros

- Best opportunity to work on "pure" strategy cases (especially growth strategy) - Customized approach to each project / client keeps work fresh and interesting - Management trust and high expectations from the start helped me develop quickly - Innovative / breakthrough approach to balancing work-life (led to an HBS-published case) - Wonderful international work opportunities

Cons

High business growth, mixed with our customized approach, means little time to sit back and take a rest Internal knowledge sharing leads to great international conversations, but could be made more efficient

Pros

Super-smart colleagues, challenging work, access to top management at Fortune 500 companies. You will not find another job that offers the same opportunities for development and that has a real focus on your personal well-being.

Cons

Travel, travel, travel! Don't think you can count on local case. That being said, there is a real focus on making the job sustainable.

Pros

4 characteristics drive a very satisfactory career at BCG: * Personal development focused on individuality over standard mould * Positive internal collaborative culture that shuns internal competition * Consistent firm strategy focused on people, balanced growth and client service philosophy * One of the only firms left that foster a truly generalist staffing model (specialize by year 4 or 5)

Cons

2 down sides to a consulting career in general * high travel, depending on which office you are serving out of (although BCG's regional staffing model greatly minimizes this compared to peers) * challenge of balancing bureaucracy as firm grows in size
