Pros

Amazing health benefits that few will beat

Cons

They are doing mass layoffs but will blame it on your performance. They won’t give you a chance to learn and will still fire you. Why hire in the first place? If you’re hiring people with MBAs and experienced hires who have worked in consulting before or lateral hires and reviewing them against ones who just stepped into the business world, it is very unfair. And the quality of work is crap; they have the highest level of confidence, that’s it and will convince you of whatsoever. Snake oil salesmen. If I were a client I would NEVER hire BCG. Will be very happy to leave

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.
