Continued growth in an uncertain world

Business Outlook

Pros

I've appreciated that BCG continues to adapt, thrive, and grow in an increasingly uncertain market context. Not only the growth of the firm revenue and market footprint, but the growth it continues to provide to its team - and the growth it supports for its clients.

Cons

It will always be a demanding job - and thriving in this uncertain market definitely has its new flavors of "learning on the job" - and the time required to do so.
