Pros

Employees are likely to get an incredibly high level of senior exposure and content learning very early in their careers. The job also opens a tremendous number of doors, both within and outside BCG. My fellow coworkers and the managing team are both phenomenal and make it a great place to work.

Cons

The volume of work tends to be very large, making it difficulty to balance work and personal lives. Additionally, the workload can at times be unpredictable.

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.
