Business Outlook

Pros

Working at BCG provided me with the opportunity to work with some of the smartest, most talented people I have ever come across. Between the high-level, interesting problems and the top-tier clients, BCG is a fantastic place to work.

Cons

Typical top-tier strategy consulting challenges - long hours, frequent travel, demanding performance standards. At the entry level, very little control over projects you work on.

Pros

Among the smartest colleagues you can find, cutting edge, issues oriented, data driven - all with a client focus. You will have as many development opportunities as you choose to take advantage of.

Cons

It's all about the numbers - work environment getting increasingly impersonal.
