Pros

a) Incredible amount of responsibility at a young tenure; I started at BCG right out of undergrad and am now leading teams and projects. It has been an incredible journey b) Mentorship and development; I can name at least 3 mentors that I have had at BCG for the past 3+ years who I know have my back / will support me and have helped me develop into a strong team leader. In this project leader role, I am excited for my opportunity to now mentor and support the next generation at BCG c) Opportunities; Through BCG, I have had the opportunity to take on a project in Amsterdam for 3 months, temporarily transfer to our Melbourne office in Australia, take extended / flexible leave for a global vacation, and work on the topics that most excite me. Incredibly thankful for all of the opportunities at BCG!

Cons

No major negatives to highlight. This is a job where you have to work hard, but the investment pays off big time! :)

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.
