Pros

Same as all the other reviews - travel

Cons

Poor (uncompetitive) pay Long hours (think +80hours/week) Be careful of the huge amount of POSITIVE marketing that is generated by the marketing team (not you will rarely see less positive comments about the brand) Extremely negative culture Terrible office at MSQ Not good at promoting people

Pros

They give good Salary to lure good people who otherwise would be working in nice jobs Food is amazing and it's free. Admin team does a commendable job overall

Cons

BPO kind of work Favoritism in management Politics Repetitive, non-intellectual, non value adding work Work from home is discouraged by management Cheap mentality I have heard cases of female sexual harassment and management trying to diminish it Gender biasing No travel opportunities Feels like working in a vendor company, not BCG

Pros

1. The BCG Brand 2. Great perks and benefits - free food and drinks, great office, frequent outings etc. 3. Exposure to BCG's way of working - the famous BCG case approach

Cons

The following applies strictly to the PDT team within BCG and not to BCG as a whole: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. If you are an MBA, do not join the PDT team. Unlike BCG's consulting wing, the PDT team does not value MBA degree at all. You will see BTechs from random engineering colleges, with no business understanding (and with similar or lesser no of years of exp than yours) being promoted before you. Reason - they do not require MBA skill sets in PDT. 2. Moreover, there is no hiring parity. You may find people with lesser years of exp being hired at higher positions. 3. Internal growth/promotions are adhoc and defy logic at times. For example - a 5.5 yrs BTech can be promoted to a Lead level, even though while hiring, PDT says that at least 6.5-7 yrs of exp is required to be considered for a Lead position.
