Pros

I've never learned more in a shorter period of time ever in my career. Junior staff are highly motivated and supportive, I loved my coworkers. High expectations for client deliverables. I've heard from other BRG friends that other offices are better. It all depends on your manager. It made me a better analyst, motivated me to go to graduate school.

Cons

If you end up with a bad manager (as I did) you are in hell. Ended up working for an expert who all the other junior staffers refused to work with. I quit after seven months because HR listened to none of my complaints. HR is essentially non-existent. My office was definitely and old boys club, if you are a smart white male in management you can treat your junior staff however you want and rarely will it have consequences. Head of my office made disparaging comments about a woman on maternity leave.

Pros

Learn from really smart people on interesting projects. Standard of quality is very high - most of the work product ultimately ends up in front of courts or regulators. Lots of opportunity for development and working in different groups.

Cons

Usually engaged by law firms on behalf of clients.
