Pros

- friendly colleagues(mostly! there is always the one(or two) odd person you want to steer clear of) - I haven't seen other offices but the London office was pretty nice. Friday lunches were great too!

Cons

- Personally, it felt as if myself and many other colleagues who joined around the same time as I did were pegged a level lower than what they were actually at. Was it pure coincidence or was it something to do with the Compensation team ? One can only guess. - Too traditional when it came to new ideas and innovations. Sort of wanting to hold on to the tried and tested methods only - Outrageously dated software systems.

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.
