Pros

\\Feedback Culture - Huge emphasis on personalized learning and development, very frequent informal feedback and also many formal processes for collecting and delivering feedback \\Secondment - Option to work somewhere else for 6-12 months, risk-free way try out a different industry/function \\Leave Policy - If you're in good standing, they are typically very generous about letting people take unpaid time off to travel, be with family, volunteer, etc; depending on the circumstances you can keep your health benefits while away \\Social Impact - Many local and global partnerships with NGOs, opportunity to work low- or pro-bono for social impact organizations \\Mobility and Travel - Frequent work travel leads to lots of perks redeemable for personal travel; quantity of BCG offices across the country and around the world means the possibility of transferring to different cities (not the easiest process but definitely doable!) \\Health benefits - Unparalleled coverage in the US, I often get surprised reactions from doctors' offices when I give them my insurance card and they look up my plan coverage \\Lifelong friends - Met some of the best people I've ever known!!

Cons

\\Pockets of questionable leadership - It can happen anywhere: you meet successful, charming people who don't always care about the team \\The pressure of client services - Managers who are super Type A and insecure find it hard to say no to the client -> can lead to long hours for the team and high levels of stress \\Cycle of turnover - If case leadership doesn't think you're going to stick around, then they have relatively little incentive to invest in a long term relationship with you; but partially up to you to make the effort and form connections with senior people
