Pros

Even the base consultant position (associate business analyst) is able to really develop a full range of consulting skills - data collection and analysis, strategy development, client management, etc. - which makes pcg a great firm for consultants just starting out. It's a young firm (22 years) and there is still an entreprenureal feeling within the company, which makes it a faced-paced, exciting to work.

Cons

Managers fight amongst each other about who gets credit (read: a big bonus) for each contract and are "territorial" with their clients. Low salary compared to other consulting firms. Little to no upward mobility for female managers...old boys' club at the top.

Pros

Really enjoyed my teammates, we all tried surviving the ever rotation of projects and assignments that were given to us that didn’t have clear direction or instructions.

Cons

Had to take leave due to mental exhaustion and anxiety due to this job. Constantly was being told because we made salary to be expected to work past our scheduled hours. Was always told to voice when I was at capacity and had enough on my plate, and when I did, I was just given more. Senior managers undermined my work, would throw you under the bus if they messed up and needed a scapegoat. Communication team to team was so awful, even the products are just a mess. Just the worst place that I’ve ever worked. Some teams had fought for years to get more people hired on their teams to help with the load they were given, and were never listened to, then higher ups were shocked when they all left.
