Pros

People pleasant to work with, intelligent people

Cons

Very bad dealing of women during maternity eg, delay in promotion due to no apparent reason, no tenure credit for the time spent in maternity leave, constant threat of getting fired from job after return from maternity etc. Other than this, bad career progression, politics, very strict performance standards with no room for error, low empathy for personal people circumstances etc.

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.
