Pros

Clients are the best companies in the world, colleagues are the smartest people I've ever met.

Cons

This is not an easy job. You work long hours, it's intense and you are constantly being evaluated - which is good and bad: it pushes you to do your best and to improve (and you get plenty of feedback to improve), but sometimes you just want a pat on the back or a high five without someone also saying "...but these are your areas for development."

Pros

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Cons

BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
