Pros
You will learn a lot starting your career here. The projects are very specific and you’ll become a mini expert in the topic of your case. BRG does not expect you to come in knowing all the data analytics tools you’ll use. There will be plenty of training and learning from the Senior Associates / Consultants on your team. Social environment is fun - during COVID there were cocktail classes, painting classes, and book clubs scheduled.
Cons
BRG claims they determine your performance on a large variety of things, but ultimately it’s just billable hours. You will be asked to do non-billable work such as business development, recruiting, and training. While these might sound interesting it’s important you avoid them as much as possible. They will reduce the all-holy utilization rate. You need to set your values and boundaries EARLY. They will guilt you into working until midnight or tell you that working from home is not great for the team. If you are not able to deal with a behavior or a requirement long term speak up EARLY. You’ll feel stuck and unable to speak up otherwise.
