Pros
4 characteristics drive a very satisfactory career at BCG: * Personal development focused on individuality over standard mould * Positive internal collaborative culture that shuns internal competition * Consistent firm strategy focused on people, balanced growth and client service philosophy * One of the only firms left that foster a truly generalist staffing model (specialize by year 4 or 5)
Cons
2 down sides to a consulting career in general * high travel, depending on which office you are serving out of (although BCG's regional staffing model greatly minimizes this compared to peers) * challenge of balancing bureaucracy as firm grows in size
