Vantaggi

-Unparalleled opportunities for development of many different skill sets -Surrounded by extremely smart people -Compensation is pretty good, especially when you get promoted to Consultant -Some opportunities to work on very interesting, critical projects

Svantaggi

There's a large discrepancy in the quality of the case mix available at the different offices. This is primarily due to the strength and longevity of the partner base in each office. Being in a poorer quality office will mean you will work on shittier, boring projects more often -- nitty gritty operational topics, rather than the interesting strategy, corp dev, etc type stuff. Don't get me wrong, every office has a certain amount of bad projects (i.e. almost everyone at BCG will work on a process-y PMI in a two year career there)...But some offices are worse than others.

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.
