Vantaggi

Beautiful office, smart people, generous perks

Svantaggi

My manager was very condescending to me as a new comer, constantly micromanaging, as though I was incapable of doing anything that I actually got hired for. BCG supposedly promotes free, independent thinking, but, my manager made it arrogantly clear, I needed to get feedback on everything, no matter how simple the task. All or any positive feedback from my MDP's was met with heavy skepticism. When I was invited by one of my MDPs to travel with the case team for an offsite, my manager said "Why would BCG pay for that? We don't need you there..." Followed by, something to the effect of "you're new, why would you think you can go?" I felt like my manager would find a way to sabotage any opportunity for growth that was presented to me. I didn't feel comfortable succeeding, because my success wouldn't be mutually celebrated.

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.
