      The most challenging place

      Pros

      Working exclusively with very intelligent people in complex problems with clients from diverse industries. Counterparties are very senior people (you get to be in front of a blue-chip CEO in your first year)

      Cons

      There is no such a thing as work life balance. The most difficult part is that your personal lifestyle changes with every project

      Great (but demanding) résumé and experience catalyst

      Pros

      Immediate access to and influence on senior management at Fortune 500 companies. Great training and development. Steep learning curve that propels you into a managerial role in a short amount of time. Colleagues that are some of the smartest people in the world (but somehow remain grounded and humble). Fun teams and good friends, which is key when working such long hours!

      Cons

      All of these wonderful pros come at a price: you have to give up your personal life and dedicate yourself to your client and your case. Dating is near impossible, and weekend trips or family events may have to be cancelled due to "client demands." BCG does its best to give its employees a decent work-life balance, and I would argue it's the best of the top tier firms in this area, but this industry is by nature incredibly demanding. Be prepared to burn out.
