Pros

- Flexible WFH (50% remote work) - Great healthcare benefits (literally costs you nothing) - Lots of holidays off - Generous (by US standards) vacation package (3 weeks) - Unlimited PTO - Pleasant/Fun company culture, lots of events to attend - You have autonomy on your day-day, as long as you get the job done you can manage your own time (no mirco-mangers)

Cons

- Pay is way below average for Administrative assistants in the area - There is not much of a bonus package, you will likely not get close to what they quote you in the offer letter

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.
