Supportive environment but challenging promotion dynamics

Research analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

lovely coworkers, nice office space to work in, management isn't too micromanage-y, room to learn for early career people

Cons

BCG heavily deprioritizes their expert track and BST staff (ie. anyone not on the consulting track), and it bleeds into metrics and promotions. Hard to make a case for promotion when metrics are low due to the nature of the practice area or because your hours are the first to be cut when there are budget issues.
