Pros

great people, interesting projects, good working culture and healthy environment. would definitely suggest to friends/other people to apply to this great firm.

Cons

long hours, can be pigeon holed in an industry that you are not particularly fond of - and the expectations are high. hard to move internally and get staffed in different industry.

Pros

BCG has a strong culture with respect for the individual and a genuine interest in making insight become impact. The work is inherently interesting (most of the time) and you learn by being challenged on a daily basis.

Cons

It's a client service business and clients come first which means there are occasions when peronal life has to budge. It's particularly tricky if travel is required when difficult from a personal perspective.

Pros

Unparalleled access to senior leaders at major organization, ability to see inner workings of top management, and opportunity to learn from some of the best. Very few jobs right out of college would offer such an incredible learning opportunity.

Cons

Constant travel, usually to someplace exceptionally dull. Excessive focus on minor things that don't matter much (e.g. slide formatting) at the expense of actual mentorship opportunities. Less culturally uniform than McK or Bain, meaning greater variation office to office.
