Pros

Benefits of the company in general are fantastic!

Cons

Knowledge Team most unprofessional. KT teams thriving on the legacy and brand built by world-class consultants. They themselves are merely a support function. New ideas/processes take a long time to be heard. Team lead(s) lack professionalism and fail to work under pressure. Bureaucratic and highly political work environment. Heavy micro-management within the KT teams. Less focus on knowledge building and collaboration, more on individual shortcomings and pointing out mistakes. Unnecessary pressure created by internal politics. They pick and choose who they allow to advance based more on politics than hard work and skills. There is no rhyme or reason to most decisions they make; if they like you, you're set. If they do not like you, you are either harassed into quitting or you get terminated. It's also a very sexist and racist company.

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.
