Boston Consulting Group reviews

All-business all the time, hard to build relationships with people if they are not on your direct project Knowledge Team seemed to be a good place to have a comfortable job, limited opportunity for fast paced growth and promotion. Only possible to get a raise on Knowledge Team when up for promotion. Can be 4+ years at higher levels. Too long. Benefits are not competitive on support staff with other top firms. McKinsey, Bain are better. Most other small firms offer more vacation and 401k match as well. I worked most weekends - could have done better than 15 days - didn't feel like I had much time to re-charge. Had to use most vacation at christmas and thanksgiving like others.

Although they advertise great "Work life balance" it is a joke. Only better than investment banking. Be prepared to work 60-80+ hours every week and be constantly reporting to managers. If you don't like the job there are 10,000 applicants looking to replace you, so either work like a dog or make room for the next guy who will.
