Great company!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits package is crazy, the atmosphere is overall very friendly, and everyone is working together for the benefit of the company.

Cons

The only major con I can come up with is that, although the atmosphere is very friendly, it is also fairly political on the business services side. I think some people are very self-conscious and always worried about others instead of doing impeccably with their own job. I have only encountered a few people who have this personality, however, but overall it is a great atmosphere!

Great (but demanding) résumé and experience catalyst

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Immediate access to and influence on senior management at Fortune 500 companies. Great training and development. Steep learning curve that propels you into a managerial role in a short amount of time. Colleagues that are some of the smartest people in the world (but somehow remain grounded and humble). Fun teams and good friends, which is key when working such long hours!

Cons

All of these wonderful pros come at a price: you have to give up your personal life and dedicate yourself to your client and your case. Dating is near impossible, and weekend trips or family events may have to be cancelled due to "client demands." BCG does its best to give its employees a decent work-life balance, and I would argue it's the best of the top tier firms in this area, but this industry is by nature incredibly demanding. Be prepared to burn out.

You get to work with the best in the business

Business Outlook

Pros

You work with some of the brightest minds in the industry Extraordinary benefits (e.g. no premium for health, dental and vision insurance with no deductible)

Cons

The standard is set very high (sometimes unacheiveable). Some biased judgement. If for any reason someone doesn't like you in the management, you will be let go for very weird and disheartening reasons
