Pros

The company gives plenty of opportunity to learn, to develop world class products, to work with great teammates, offers flexible working schemes and has a transparent performance/recognition process. They provide to every employee all the equipment needed to work, including last generation notebook and iPhone. The offices are comfortable, with many options of food and drinks for free. The salary is competitive and if you outperform you can earn up to 16% of your yearly base salary as bonus.

Cons

The IT organization tends to impose work and demands that slow teams down and reduces the chances for generating value for clients sometimes.

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.
