Pros

Excellent structure, training, systems and lovely offices

Cons

EA's are of a Stepford Wife type. If you are not willing to work evenings and weekends and remain submissive and docile, they will walk you out the door. I have seen several employees walked out due to minor mistakes and not fitting in with their ideal.

Pros

-Interesting and challenging work. There is very little 'busy work' done at this firm. Almost everything you do will be expected to add value to a client, and you will be forced to think creatively about new problems every single day. -Consulting staff develop a wide set of skills very quickly. By the end of your first year at BCG, you will be at an advanced skill level in Excel modeling, VBA coding, statistical analysis, data analytics, presentation design, and oral presentation. -World-class management and talent. You will be mentored by some of the most intelligent individuals in the industry. The level of creativity, knowledge, and critical thinking displayed by higher-level managers at BCG is incredible. -Excellent compensation and benefits. Benefits include 100% healthcare coverage, 25-30 paid vacation days each year, education sponsorship, and retirement planning, among many others. Arguably the best in the consulting industry. -Flat hierarchy and terrific firm culture. Even as a brand-new hire straight out of undergrad or graduate school, you will work side-by-side with partners on a weekly basis. They will actually take the time to get to know you and your goals for personal development. This firm has wonderful people.

Cons

-High-pressure work environment. This is a great job, but it is very difficult. A lot will be asked of you from the very beginning of your tenure with the firm, and you will be expected to generate fast, accurate, and value-add work for 10+ hours each day when on a case. -Traveling Monday through Thursday seems exciting at first, but it becomes a drag very quickly.
