Pros

Great Insurance and benefits. Free lunch on Wednesdays. Great people to work with (in general). A variety of trainings available to help you upskill.

Cons

Very fake and toxic leadership that will find ways to terminate you if they feel envious or jealous of you. They expect you to take a lower salary to work with the firm as they think they're doing you a favor. Very Gynocentric company that clearly favors women over men The onboarding process is stupid, complicated, and they provide little to no assistance with it. Leadership is very lazy and does not provide any direction when you are a new employee. Leadership will claim they want you to be entrepreneurial so they don't have to give you any assistance, but then they act petty and jealous of you when you actually do achieve results.

Pros

Love life at BCG! Amazing offices and global presence - opportunity to work with people everywhere. Amazing benefits - fully covered by the org. Great leadership and always transparent with employees. Flexible work life and environment. Work to better their employees both personally and professionally

Cons

BCG is large and matrixed, so can be hard to really know the entire org, but I've loved every second of my experience!

Pros

Awesome bread and circuses- benefits, offices, travel perks are incredible. The consulting staff is brilliant and nice. The company provides for and cares about employees.

Cons

IT is a disaster. Management completely out of touch with staff, Directors and top-talent leaving in droves, lack of respect for and zero diversity in decision-making folks (take a look at the gender and cultural make up of the Senior Leadership Team). "Fake Agile" consultant mimicry and no one who actually has any execution experience. Recycling of 20-year veterans into less visible positions to try the same tired techniques over again. Stay away until the top two level of leadership has been replaced.
