Vantaggi

Easy to move to another country/system. Good compensation, but less good if compared to working hours. Good exit opportunities.

Svantaggi

Unreasonable working hours and high unpredictability. Expect 80+ hours/week. Hard to grow in managing people, as the only requested skill is managing other slaves Custom to make things look good "whatever it takes", even if this means "cheating" the client. Focus on the client is often reduced to being a good slave of the client manager which pays us, doing his/her personal interest even when this has negative impacts on the client as a company. Hard to openly discuss issues with BCG managers. No prioritization culture.

Vantaggi

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Svantaggi

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.
