Pros

Its a truly unique place to work - very enriching, challenging and generally with a very good and strong culture. Its hard work and long hours (you know that before), but you its amazing how much you can do not only in this job but specifically this company. People have a high integrity, are in general very supportive and its a great place to learn a wide range of capabilities.

Cons

Firstly: Work-life balance vastly differs depending on the practice area you specialize in, but in some specific ones it certainly critical. Secondly: Even though the performance review process is well developed the promotion process (in performance-quintiles) is not very transparent and could certainly be improved. Lastly: More appreciation of good performance and supporting the top-performers better would not hurt.

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.
