Great Stepping Stone

Research associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits outside of salary - health insurance in particular. Getting BCG on the resume opened a lot of doors. BCG Navigator offered a breadth of information at fingertips. Work-life balance as the job is not overly complicated and the work hours are meant to be 8am to 5pm exactly.

Cons

- Business model for DRS is at odds with business model for the org as a whole, meaning there is a conflict of interest between succeeding in the role and progressing your personal development and career. - Work is transactional by nature, meaning that unless you are resourceful and step outside of what management wants you to do, you will not get any exposure to meaningful BCG casework. - The job becomes managing cheaper outsourced research firms to increase the profitability of the DRS department. Basically, you get good at creating and managing 6 research requests that you don't do yourself, but merely send off to case teams after you "QA" them. - Moving over to the consulting side is not possible from DRS, or from the Knowledge Team for that matter. - DRS was managed and run like a call center. Butt in seat at 8am, punch out at 5pm. Not recommended for those who value autonomy and don't like to be managed via hours.
