Vantaggi

I worked at The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for 6 years, then left for industry before starting my own small business, and then eventually came back. People always ask me "why did you come back"? Here the three reasons: 1) People. The people who work at BCG at consistently some of the most dedicated, smartest, and humble people that you'll ever meet. There is an expression that says "you are the average of the five people around you". I truly believe that being surrounded each and every day by the amazing people who work at BCG make me a better person. 2) Impact. It sounds cliche to say "we partner with clients to solve their toughest problems", but the very business model of BCG is to identify every day the greatest challenges that clients face and find a way to help. The greater the impact, the greater the fees. And given the size and growth of BCG, we are now continuously tackling THE biggest challenges out there. 3) Learning. In order to stay relevant in the market, you have to grow and learn each and every day. It is very different from industry where you quickly plateau.

Svantaggi

There are a few things that tend to be common, incl. frequent travel, intensity of the work, and ownership (we advise and can help with getting things started, but typically don't stay on for the 2-3 year implementation). But all of these are worth relative to the Pro's of this job.

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.
