Pros

BCG is an incredible company to work for, they really take great care of their employees by paying for you & your families entire health care premiums (you literally pay 0 out of your paycheck, I've never had to meet a ded. or pay a copay). You also get unlimited PTO/sick days and about 3 weeks vacation. We have also been WFH since the pandemic started and are still remote.

Cons

I think that they only con is that the pay range for administrative assistants is too low. But being able to WFH and having my families medical totally paid for kind of makes up for it... but it's definitely something that will keep me from staying at BCG. They also require an insane work load, as an assistant you will be fully supporting 8-10 people which is madness.

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.
