Pros

Tons of learning and development. Cool exposure to senior execs

Long hours and minimal predictability / control over your schedule. Can be either a great or awful experience depending on your team and project (but regardless you’ll work hard)

Thanks for your feedback! We love to hear that you've enjoyed the learning and career development opportunities that are offered at BCG. To your note about unpredictable hours, we recognize that balance can be difficult at peak consulting times. To empower BCGers to make work-life choices that support their unique needs, we offer flexible working arrangements, like FlexCapabity and FlexLeave. We encourage consultants to work with their leaders to find balance that is right for them!
