Pros

Salary, bonus, insurance benefits, PTO and holidays off

Cons

Starting off was great, a company I could have seen myself retiring with, but the company is moving support staff to Costa Rica and the value is no longer placed on the people as they claim but is all about the money

Great people and best-in-class benefits

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are what make BCG special. Management broadly cares about the right things. The benefits are best in class and unmatched in other industries. $0 insurance with low co-pays. Profit sharing towards retirement. Many offerings that support mental health and work/life integration. Lots of perks. The offices are beautiful and the amenities make working from them enjoyable (snacks, drinks, baristas, free lunch, wellness spaces.) The office experience teams plan happy hours and organize activities that create a fun atmosphere that feels different from past industry gigs. I appreciate the feedback culture - people let you know when you’ve done a good job or how you can improve in the future which alleviates second guessing and performance ambiguity.

Cons

Many of the internal functional teams are understaffed. The complicated org structure makes navigating tasks and gaining alignment difficult.

No work life balance

Business Outlook

Pros

Health benefits Free food Networking opportunities

Cons

Some of the senior level from HR to the OD look down on the office staff and expect them to act like a slave. No work life balance, expect you to only work for them and commit your entire life to the job but the pay isn’t reflective of that type of commitment. Lots of favoritism. Snake like environment
