Vantaggi

1. The BCG Brand 2. Great perks and benefits - free food and drinks, great office, frequent outings etc. 3. Exposure to BCG's way of working - the famous BCG case approach

Svantaggi

The following applies strictly to the PDT team within BCG and not to BCG as a whole: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. If you are an MBA, do not join the PDT team. Unlike BCG's consulting wing, the PDT team does not value MBA degree at all. You will see BTechs from random engineering colleges, with no business understanding (and with similar or lesser no of years of exp than yours) being promoted before you. Reason - they do not require MBA skill sets in PDT. 2. Moreover, there is no hiring parity. You may find people with lesser years of exp being hired at higher positions. 3. Internal growth/promotions are adhoc and defy logic at times. For example - a 5.5 yrs BTech can be promoted to a Lead level, even though while hiring, PDT says that at least 6.5-7 yrs of exp is required to be considered for a Lead position.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
