Pros

Salary, Free Food, Office Location, Office Space

Cons

No respect for the individual, a culture of backbiting and negativity, people on Boston given preference over the people in India, poor leadership especially the one in India where immature people are given leadership roles. They are running BCG like a family business and have no basic understanding of how a corporation works. Poor hires like them give BCG a poor name and repute. While the Consultant cohort and the CKA cohort might be better the BST is run on the whims and aspirations of people who don't even know what is truly happening.

Pros

Casual Dressing all days Good food in cafeteria Very nice office outings Stay in some of the best hotels

Cons

I have been working for 1.5 years at IKA and have always regretted my decision. Some of the major reasons: - Politics: You cannot imagine anything else but politics. Work is nice but politics makes you feel demotivated. - HR: Troublemaker, pathetic, unethical, strong favorism for folks who are from McKc, always ready to find ways to put you in tight spot, screams at people in public. And if you revolt against her then be ready to find a new job! She dares to quote examples from past.

Pros

Great learning at a young age Exposure to many different industries and industry leaders Real opportunity to make impact in large client organizations Opportunity to shape strategic decisions for huge companies

Cons

Many projects are badly sold with unclear objectives, understaffed, or crunched for time Inability of leadership to say 'no' to scope creep/ unreasonable requests from clients even if it significantly impacts employee's work-life balance and satisfaction A bit of masochism - a lot of deadlines are artificial and created internally, without any relation to client deadlines
