Pros

Growth: we’re outpacing the industry handily, and suspect will be #1 among MBB soon Exposure: C-Suite or C-Suite +1 level problems across multiple industries / companies that you will never get exposure to at such a young age if you were an insider Culture: The people are really like family. I will probably cry when I leave Work: the most interesting work with the smartest set of people

Cons

W/L balance. Be willing to sell your soul. We’re a company full of people who used to be interesting (no time for past hobbies)

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.
