      Good pay partly offsets constant travel, long hours, stress

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BCG pays well and is very transparent about expectations and performance. The people are some of the brightest you'll ever meet. They challenge you to find non-obvious solutions.

      Cons

      It varies from person to person, but some of us travel constantly. Although it's not really BCG specific, one of the biggest downsides to the job is the constant churn - different partners, clients, locations, industries - every time you change a case. It's exhilarating at first, but it starts to wear on you after awhile.

      A piece of advise for potential BCG employees

      Associate consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good environment to learn: your colleagues and superiors will take the time to discuss and teach the basics of the business you are analyzing - Fats paced, challenging environment: assignments are changed every 2-4 months, and they are often in an industry / function you have never studied before. So, if you want to leanr a lot very quickly this is a good place to be

      Cons

      - Very poor work/life balance: this is the biggest gripe with consulting: 70-hour weeks are considered acceptable and weekends in the office are not rare, and people will only start to worry after your team is past the 90-hour barrier. So, if having an active social life or doing many things besides working are a priority you'd better not come into consulting.
