Pros

Awesome bread and circuses- benefits, offices, travel perks are incredible. The consulting staff is brilliant and nice. The company provides for and cares about employees.

Cons

IT is a disaster. Management completely out of touch with staff, Directors and top-talent leaving in droves, lack of respect for and zero diversity in decision-making folks (take a look at the gender and cultural make up of the Senior Leadership Team). "Fake Agile" consultant mimicry and no one who actually has any execution experience. Recycling of 20-year veterans into less visible positions to try the same tired techniques over again. Stay away until the top two level of leadership has been replaced.

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.
