Vantaggi

Fantastic professional opportunities, excellent corporate brand name. Creates access post-BCG to other top companies. BCG pays exceedingly well, and the benefits are fantastic (e.g., $5 medical co-pays, 3 months of maternity leave, etc). You'll get to work with some incredibly bright and talent people.

Svantaggi

~ Crazy hours (60 hours are average, 80 is common, and 100 is not unheard of...), resulting in poor work-life balance ~ Occasionally unrealistic expectations of your managers ~ Promotion criteria gets increasingly hazy as you reach higher levels in the company ~ Feedback poorly given, and occasionally very poor alignment of how you're doing with what you're hearing (i.e., reviews can be a surprise)

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.
