Pros

You can’t beat the benefits. Most of the people are very friendly. Unlimited sick and personal days. 3 weeks vacation, but you may not be allowed to use it when you want to. No waiting period for benefits to be effective. Great office. Lots of free snacks and drinks. Catered lunch once a week.

Cons

Just be aware that if you accept a presentation design position at BCG, it is a production role. You will be booked on projects by 15 minute increments, which unfortunately isn’t how real creative design works. You will also be working on a PC, not a Mac, which is one of the many things that show how behind BCG design is compared to current design standards. Promotions and titles are arbitrary, not based on skills or expertise. Senior level work is no different from entry level.

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.
