Pros

Compensation, benefits, the great majority of the people are nice and willing to help, meaningful work, meaningful relationships with coworkers

Cons

-Long hours (but expected) -The Miami office is unfortunately run by an indian gang. They are protected and seem to be untouchable, some of them thinking of themselves as superiors (this doesn't apply to every Indian person; just the few that are involved in this scheme) - You oftentimes must put on a fake act so that you will be seen as favorable to the "feds" inside the office. - Your experience will completely depend on your project and your leaders. You can have great leaders that make a project enjoyable or a more difficult project bearable, or you can have horrible leaders that will make any project you are in unbearable. - Team and case reviews are often biased and inaccurate, as your team leaders, if bad leaders, will practically force you to answer positively through small indirect acts of intimidation. Even though these are anonymous, teams are compromised sometimes of 2 or 3 members, so they will more than likely know who is responding to what.

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.
