Business Outlook

Pros

People, culture, cool cases! Everything is just really well laid out and super professional. You don't need to worry about anything other than doing well in your job - it is all taken care of. Also great focus on personal development.

Cons

Sometimes difficult to get staffed on the cool cases. I.e. staffing attempts to take your preferences into considerations, but at times client needs / BCG needs get priority.
