      Great Coworkers, limited opportunities for non-consultants (BST)

      Finance
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -The people here are absolutely fantastic -The firm invests in training for employees (both formal education and providing workshops) -The firm invests in the office culture -Great physical workspaces -Incredible health insurance (less helpful though if you're young, healthy, and childless)

      Cons

      If you want to grow your career here you must be on the consulting side. There are limited opportunities to get promoted in general, and for high impact opportunities, they prefer former consultants who want more work-life balance (or they will devote a team of consultants to an internal project). That doesn't leave a lot of opportunities for people wishing to grow their career. If you want a job that handles more scutwork than big impact but provides great work-life balance and benefits you'll be incredibly happy here as a BST employee.

      Design = Production

      Presentation designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can’t beat the benefits. Most of the people are very friendly. Unlimited sick and personal days. 3 weeks vacation, but you may not be allowed to use it when you want to. No waiting period for benefits to be effective. Great office. Lots of free snacks and drinks. Catered lunch once a week.

      Cons

      Just be aware that if you accept a presentation design position at BCG, it is a production role. You will be booked on projects by 15 minute increments, which unfortunately isn’t how real creative design works. You will also be working on a PC, not a Mac, which is one of the many things that show how behind BCG design is compared to current design standards. Promotions and titles are arbitrary, not based on skills or expertise. Senior level work is no different from entry level.

      It's a hard job, but man is it fun!

      Senior data scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Interesting, impactful work - great pay - incredibly talented colleagues - Geographical flexibility For those who love it, BCG is a perfect job. I always feel like I have an inside track to how the world works with the work I do here.

      Cons

      It's a hard job. Lots of travel, long hours, difficult social situations to navigate. I feel like I spend tons of time trying to avoid the pitfalls of others' un-examined cognitive biases.
