Pros

BCG is one of the best places to have both a significant impact on some of the worlds top companies while also maintaining a diversity of experiences by working on a wide variety of challenging clients and problems. BCG has hired some of the best business thinkers in the world and the company affords the staff the opportunity to learn from some of the best. I originally thought that I would only be in consulting for 2 years. After 7 years here, I still continue to learn and grow while working with some of the best. I am looking forward to the next 7 years at BCG!

Cons

Work life balance is the biggest challenge at BCG. We are in a client service business and it sometimes makes it challenging to have quality hobbies and out of office activities during the weekdays.

Pros

Excellent training and learning development Trusted with an enormous amount of responsibility Pushed beyond your comfort zone Work with extremely intelligent people

Cons

Very limited say in what case you're on, whether/where you travel Need to learn to live with an uncomfortable amount of uncertainty, in daily work, in where you'll be next week, in your job Long hours (expected to work 8am to 10pm on average night, more during stressful times)
