Pros

Great group of counterparts. Everyone is incredibly smart and easy to get along with.

Cons

Overall high workload and high stress environment daily (the pros, benefits, and office space do not outweigh the cons and day to day work experience). Systems and reporting are horrible to work with and you are expected to be an expert with minimal training and things constantly breaking. Prepare to be slapped with any work priority at any given time with minimal heads up, and this is on the BST side where people are viewed as disposable. Forced bonding and protecting "special culture", requires sharing too much of personal life than one would want to. Managers are horrible, they don't know what they're doing and generate a toxic environment. It truly is a high feedback culture, a manager will make or break your experience. Managers don't have time to manage people or bring substantial information to teams because they're loaded with work top down consistently.

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.
