Pros

Casual Dressing all days Good food in cafeteria Very nice office outings Stay in some of the best hotels

Cons

I have been working for 1.5 years at IKA and have always regretted my decision. Some of the major reasons: - Politics: You cannot imagine anything else but politics. Work is nice but politics makes you feel demotivated. - HR: Troublemaker, pathetic, unethical, strong favorism for folks who are from McKc, always ready to find ways to put you in tight spot, screams at people in public. And if you revolt against her then be ready to find a new job! She dares to quote examples from past.

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.
