Pros

A lot of learning experiences both during case work and in the company traning materials Working directly with senior executives of very successful companies

Cons

Very demanding work, not much life outside of work, people do not have time to have lunch with friends on weekends because they have to work on something and/or go back to the office. Staffing is a bit unpredictable, with people "generalised" too much across different industries and functions.

Great place to kick off a career

Pros

BCG gives its associates more responsibility and more meaningful work than comparable firms. Its reputation as being a bit nerdier is perhaps deserved, but associates still have a ton of fun, without being fratty.

Cons

It's consulting. You may find yourself stranded in Wichita for months on end. Some managers are much more competent than others. If you choose to return after business school, you'll spend two more years doing pretty much the same job.

Great Place to Launch a Career

Pros

Great benefits, fair salaries, decent work/life balance compared to other consulting firms. Highly energetic, relatively young partnership group keeps it fresher.

Cons

Like all consulting jobs, there is still a good amount of travel. Path to partner involves luck as much as success.
