Pros

The number one reason to work at BCG is the people. BCG has some of the best and brightest people that you will ever get the pleasure of working with. But beyond them being smart, they are also humble and willing to go the extra mile to help you. I've been in the corporate world before BCG and know first hand how rare it can be to have wonderful colleagues like the ones that you will meet at BCG.

Cons

Travel and unpredictability are the biggest downers. But, this is more a function of management consulting in general.

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.
