Pros

The company provides excellent benefits, effective career growth planning, and a good work-life balance. Salaries are particularly competitive, even for those living outside of greater São Paulo and working in a hybrid format, taking into account travel and accommodation expenses for office days. The office is well-equipped with various amenities and dining options, alongside high-quality equipment. Employees have access to high-quality training courses and other educational platforms. Additionally, the company offers opportunities for professional development through courses and business trips abroad.

Cons

While the company's diversity and inclusion initiatives are commendable and generally outperform those at other firms, the level of support and focus can vary by cohort. Additionally, certain projects could benefit from leadership with more comprehensive experience in both business and IT/digital solutions, and might improve by adopting a structured organizational methodology, like Agile.

Pros

Great place to work if you’re on the right team, however there are lots of pockets of resistance throughout the organization, whether in consulting where people are still clinging onto billable work that slowly dying or in IT where people still think ITIL and exit gates in waterfall is still applicable in the type of work we do now you're going to run into friction and lots of people that are trying to earn a spot not by competence, evolution, and change but by clinging on to processes that are antiquated. IT definitely needs a reboot

Cons

Not many. If you're on the right team. If you're on the wrong team, get ready for bureaucratic hell

Pros

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Cons

BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
