Pros

The people are what make BCG special. Management broadly cares about the right things. The benefits are best in class and unmatched in other industries. $0 insurance with low co-pays. Profit sharing towards retirement. Many offerings that support mental health and work/life integration. Lots of perks. The offices are beautiful and the amenities make working from them enjoyable (snacks, drinks, baristas, free lunch, wellness spaces.) The office experience teams plan happy hours and organize activities that create a fun atmosphere that feels different from past industry gigs. I appreciate the feedback culture - people let you know when you’ve done a good job or how you can improve in the future which alleviates second guessing and performance ambiguity.

Cons

Many of the internal functional teams are understaffed. The complicated org structure makes navigating tasks and gaining alignment difficult.

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.
