      Good and bad

      Principal
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - BCG is a great name on CV - Amazing institution overall - Generally down to earth people - Good compensation and health insurance

      Cons

      - BCG Middle East is a different company altogether - Too transient and there's nothing being done about it - Too many silos and small communities. Partners don't like to work with each other, especially in Public Sector. With this culture, BCG Middle East doesn't have a bright future but maybe no one cares as long as the money is good for now - BCG Middle East is being managed to squeeze every profit and money for its current Partners and no one is thinking about how to survive and thrive tomorrow without KSA market

      Great place to work in your 20s

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BCG is an amazing place to work if you want to learn a lot about industry best practices, how to think in a more structured way, and how to effectively solve problems. You will work hard and get rare and unique opportunities that many people don't get until much later in their career.

      Cons

      Between the last minute travel and the luck required to find "good" projects, there are a few AFDs (areas for development). While the hours can be grueling, it's not uncommon to be told the night before that you're travelling somewhere for a project starting the next morning. This can make planning your personal life a bit difficult. Finding "good" projects is highly dependent on finding people you work well with (from a personality perspective), which is a combination of luck and finding those with whom you have clear commonalities. For those that come from socio-economic backgrounds different from more senior members, this can be particularly difficult.

      DRS (Data and Research Services) - Best place to start your career and stay longer

      Research associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Freedom to explore and learn with no limitations. Everyone is given chance to chose your interest area and build your knowledge. Senior leadership is very approachable and always ready to listen and support you (both personal and professional). Rewards and recognition is very good which gives chance to represent your work and get rewarded. Lots of parties , booz, offistes :-). If you are ready to work hard sky is the limit and growth is slow for under performers. Quite a mixed bunch of senior researchers with some being very proactive and smart workers while others very laid back. Performance and great feedback from stakeholders is the key to grow as CT is considered on the top.

      Cons

      Options to explore movement to consulting from DRS should be taken seriously. Team feels our top leaders are capable of doing this but this is not taken as a priority and no action is taken.
