Vantaggi

Great people work here. Interesting work

Svantaggi

Bad work life balance, company does not care about your development and if you dont find a project on your own, you get left out to dry. Extremely stressful. Some great people work here, but in the current business environment they are getting rid of people without giving them much runway or opportunity. My friends at McKinsey and Bain had much better expereinces and were generally given more of an opportunity to learn and develop. While they are also cutting people, its more at the 1.5-2 year mark whereas BCG gave a year or less in many cases and was fine kicking people into a tough job market without giving them the skills or experience they came for. Despicable in my opinion, but at the end of the day, they are a business and profits are all they really care about.

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.
