Pros

* Smart people who are driven to do the right thing * Great exposure to some of the most pressing issues at Fortune 500 companies * Excellent learning environment * GREAT health care benefits

Cons

* Alumni management can be stronger...career service help post transition is weak * Poor work life balance - you are at the beck and call of your partner and clients - but that is not unique just to BCG but something that plagues all consulting firms

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.
