Pros

BCG has been an amazing employer: the people are kind & curious, the work is intellectually stimulating, career progression is extremely fast & the compensation is excellent. BCG has given me the flexibility to chart my own course: working across 4 continents, giving me management responsibilities early on, and allowing me to focus on AI transformations for the most iconic companies in the world.

Cons

It's not a 9-to-5 job. Especially during times of growth, the job can be intense (e.g., when I became a Project Leader and had to manage people for the first time).

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.
