Pros

- 12.5% to 15% pay raise in Singapore across ranks - Quarterly bonuses (like airdrops) to retain staff - New swanky office at 79 Robinsons Road - Generous meal allowance budgets - Strong boundaries and respect for weekends, and personal time off. In the event you get a engagement case which is too intense, after the case, you can recompensed 3 days of leave - Cigna health coverage is comprehensive - Open culture - everyone is willing to share, and talks openly about why they are here. No backstabbing

Cons

- No backstabbing cos everyone's too busy and just wants to end work on time - Very focused on working, lacking in terms of culture and inter-office bonding - Experience consultants are drawn into different pastures (tech, crypto, investments) and firm longevity is low (average <3 years tenure). As a result, institutional knowledge is lost

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.
