Pros

I worked at BCG for 5 years and left a few years ago, looking back with the benefit of hindsight this biggest pros are: - Rapid salary progression set me up for higher pay in all future jobs - An amazing network of people who are so supportive - some friends for life that I know well, but I can also reach out to BCG alumni I've never met and they always respond with support. A lot of my future work has come through BCG connections - Learning the foundations of how to work smart and strategically

Cons

The work was definitely mixed - some really interesting strategic projects, and some more painful long change management type projects Travel to some unglamorous places in the UK. Long hours.

Pros

BCG has top tier benefits, really smart colleagues, good in-office perks, and has a great company reputation. This was a huge part of my experience and has made me go back forth about my decision to leave.

Cons

This is speaking as someone who is not on the consulting side. On my particular team, office politics were very strong with little to no opportunities for people outside of the inner circle to assimilate. More broadly, I feel like the salary trajectory was a little slow, there is a lack of location mobility and and promotions can be hard to come by. Even so, I have personally seen exceptions be made for certain people. More broadly, being located in North America can be difficult since new roles are being open in other regions which is making internal mobility next to impossible. If you have any dissatisfaction with your current team, title, or level - there's a real possibility that you will have to wait multiple years before being able to make meaningful shifts towards your long term career goals.
