Pros

As my first job out of university, I enjoyed the experience, connections, and real world learning from BCG. It exposed me to new working styles and real office pressure. Pay was pretty good for a recent graduate Benefits were also excellent

Cons

- There's only so much you can move up in the a consulting group, and with BCG I recommend taking your experience elsewhere after 2-3 years - work hours are very long - very competitive environment and little collaboration
