Pros

Mentorship and apprenticeship is unmatched with any job out there.

Cons

Firm has changed from a firm that values its people to a sea of numbers. Don’t expect the organization to deliver on any promises particularly Re: mobility or have any transparency as they make changes that impact people’s life plans. In particular, this has worsened since the latest team of Csuite leads. If you’re considering BCG for the mobility opportunities, think again — most has been removed. The people you meet and work with at the firm are, however, exceptional. I wish that NAMR’s constantly changing rules and lack of transparency or consideration of people’s lives and plans outside of work had not ruined this experience. There was so much potential. Hours are not sustainable or with the pay.

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.
