Pros

It was a good place to work, but much better place to put in CV... In Budapest office, there were fairly big projects with relatively good professional content.

Cons

Bad management quality in terms of employee management always put a strong burden on us. I was a student there, that was a part time job. Although I prepared everything they asked me to do, they did not offer me anything after one year. At the time I was there 13 people of the 20 pofessional staff was replaced in 2 months. I believe that is not ordinary. There was no career path.

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.
