Vantaggi

Free food and good salary (if you can negotiate for it)

Svantaggi

Stinking politics, Relentless hiring of low quality workforce are some basics, others are as follows: 1. Tendency to hire people at a lower level than they are eligible 2. Very Extremely substandard workforce, i.e. people don't have qualifications for the positions they hold. They use their networking skills to get hired in the company 3. Leadership doesn't have basic project management skills due to which people have to work for days and nights 4. For the first time in my life, I have seen people here lying to the face of their juniors, seniors and clients and then fight over it to prove their lies 5. People who are less qualified, less experienced, and of a lesser quality of brain cells could be your manager and it would take you days to make them understand a simple thing because they are complete idiots. 6. Salaries doesn't depend on your experience or qualifications, it depends on how well you can butter the leadership and how well you can network with your manager over smoke breaks 7. Very hierarchical approach, even when they say its a flat organization. The hierarchy is followed top to bottom, line by line 8. Growth is ZERO because the clauses of promotions cannot be met by any human, because the working hours, quality of projects, difficulty of project and client feedback are not the deciding parameters. Instead going out with managers for smoke/tea etc. are the correct parameters. 9. No matter what anyone does, if a project fails, the burden comes on the analyst because the leadership clearly states that the analyst was the one working on the project (hands on) even when its a project management failure. 10. Sometimes people are granted an express track and hired into the system telling them that they will be promoted before others. But that is a bigger sham, because these people don't have the power to promote. It depends on the people sitting at the mother company, so don't fall for this. I have wasted my precious years of life here. Please don't fall for this, BCG as a brand will not help you out when you feel pity for yourself about the work that you would do here. And all the reviews of people here about knowledge team that have <3 stars are actually true to the CORE. Instead the reviews that are 4/5 stars are written by management puppets who are trying to hide the truth about this horrible place. Be warned and proceed at your own risk because today you have an option tomorrow you will be a part of this.

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.
