BCG along with other two consulting bulge of bracket is filled with SMRAT people. Although the hour is super long compared to other work in nature, it is definitely worth staying to learn from co-workers. The environment is very open to criticism for each employer's development.

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.

Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
