Pros

- Great learnings everyday - not only from daily research work but also from colleagues (ofcourse interact and appreciate the culture and environment) - Approachable seniors and other team members, enhances learning and exposure across topics - Ample opportunities to grow and nurture yourself (you have to make the most of the opportunities that come your way) - Option to choose your area(s) of research and flexibility to explore other areas as well - Co-operative leadership supporting your personal career goals alongside and providing the required exposure, customised to an individual's needs (make your ambitions known and set clear expectations) - Great work timings and not a lot of pressure All in all I have had a great experience during my time there and grown as a professional with research and mentoring experience. Opportunities come your way only if you are willing to take up challenges and make the most of it. Make the most of your time there!

Cons

Nothing really - it all depends of how you approach the opportunity :)

Pros

BCG has top tier benefits, really smart colleagues, good in-office perks, and has a great company reputation. This was a huge part of my experience and has made me go back forth about my decision to leave.

Cons

This is speaking as someone who is not on the consulting side. On my particular team, office politics were very strong with little to no opportunities for people outside of the inner circle to assimilate. More broadly, I feel like the salary trajectory was a little slow, there is a lack of location mobility and and promotions can be hard to come by. Even so, I have personally seen exceptions be made for certain people. More broadly, being located in North America can be difficult since new roles are being open in other regions which is making internal mobility next to impossible. If you have any dissatisfaction with your current team, title, or level - there's a real possibility that you will have to wait multiple years before being able to make meaningful shifts towards your long term career goals.
