Pros

The work is very interesting, working right with C-suite more often than not People genuinely care about your experience and work-life balance

Cons

The hours can be long, but no different than you would expect in the industry. At the very least it is recognized when you are working long hours.

Pros

Awesome exit opportunities, incredible benefits, incredibly bright colleagues

Cons

Very challenging to maintain a fulfilling personal life while working in this job. The client is always right and it was not unheard of to get an email on a Saturday evening that required a response within a few hours.

Pros

BCG offers good pay and great healthcare benefits. Great peer group of smart and positive people coming in the door. There are opportunities if you want them for a variety of assignments across industries and countries. Good office locations in most major cities and some flexiblity to relocate. Annual practice meetings were the highlight.

Cons

Both obsessed and encumbered by growth BCG is finding it increasingly difficult to live up to Denis Henderson's ideals and is evolving into a clannish powerpoint factory. BCG is no longer a platform for the vital few who offer breakthrough thinking and back it up with hard work - if you're in this bucket you'll find yourself in better company at one of the BCG alumni firms who have chosen not to accept the compromises of scale. Consider Bain or one of the smaller splinter firms.
