Pros

Good learning, high compensation, can sell anything to clients, high work ethics

Cons

Hostile environment if you are not part of the inner circle, a lot of hard core Republicans and one German SP create unhealthy culture, Support of Trump administration still there. Working long hours (80-100) only way to get promoted

Pros

BCG is a well-known company to work for in terms of its reputation in the consulting world. The company offers the best health benefits I've ever seen and provides in office snacks, breakfast and lunches on a daily basis. The work culture is corporate but friendly and it depends on the location of the office. Overall the company is a great company to work for and the people I have encountered from the top down have been pleasant during my career here.

Cons

Depending on the cohort you work in flexibility is not as flexible in roles like Administrative Assistant. Management puts forth an effort for flexible schedules but in reality, compared to other positions and roles in the company the Administrative Assistants have the least flexibility. Promotions on a large team like the one I work on are slow to come by and seem to be biased at times. You have to take on a load that is beyond stressful to prove yourself for a salary increase in this role. Lastly, feedback is encouraged but not received well so be intentional and mindful about what you want to say.
