Pros

Excellent training and learning development Trusted with an enormous amount of responsibility Pushed beyond your comfort zone Work with extremely intelligent people

Cons

Very limited say in what case you're on, whether/where you travel Need to learn to live with an uncomfortable amount of uncertainty, in daily work, in where you'll be next week, in your job Long hours (expected to work 8am to 10pm on average night, more during stressful times)

- Quality of work - Responsibility level even at entry levels - Focus on learning and continuous development

Cons

- Terrible work-life balance (high travel, + lack of respect for weekends, personal life) - Can't plan life... anything can happen anytime and ure expected to be available - Too much pushing and pressure to always exceed expectations - Focus always on weaknesses, and rarely on strengths

Pros

The quality of the people working at BCG make the company one of the most sought after employers. The potential to learn from other incredibly smart people is a huge pro and something that will stick with you for the rest of your life

Cons

Lots of travel (can be a plus if you like travelling) and the work hours can be a bit strenuous sometimes but gets better with progression.
