Pros

· High salary · Smart colleagues · Team events, retreats · Other benefits

Cons

· 12+ hours of work a day · Nature of projects vary depending on office clients (meaning you could be stuck in boring stuff for a while if you are not lucky and play your cards well) Advise for future associates out there: This is not job for everyone (I don't mean that you can't do it, it is just that you will not enjoy it/you will be unhappy), make sure you speak to other people (the more, the better) doing the role in the office you join to get a full picture of how things are before you join

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.
