Pros

There are a lot of smart people around, so it is good to take example, Very efficient lifestyle of the company, so very easy to learn how to be efficient, Tasks are pretty interesting, you could participate to all parts of the project

Cons

There are a lot of internal competition and people usually take you as the competitor. There was no chance to select the project which you like, they took you directly to the project independently from your preferences. There is typical "consulting culture" which is good and bad at the same time

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.
