      Good post-business school option if you're not yet sure what you really want to do with your career

      Pros

      Great post-business school option if you're not yet sure what industry you'd like to work in. Allows you to see a variety of business situations to help you understand business better and ultimately find what you'd like to do long-term.

      Cons

      Travel can be grueling. Rarely do you receive positive feedback or are made to feel good about what you've accomplished on a case. Leadership skills are very poor.

      great place to learn, difficult to sustain

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BCG provides great learning opportunities (lots of training both online and live sessions, including individual coaching sessions you can sign up for), constant feedback (sometimes too much). You will also be working with very smart and motivated people. Fast paced, challenging, mostly intellectually stimulating work. Difficult to get bored. Generally nice, low key people.

      Cons

      tough work, challenging lifestyle, lots of travel. Even though everyone thinks that they are ready for the challenge, it can wear on you after a while. Also you will constantly feel scrutinized, because of the constant feedback and plotting of your performance on a matrix vs other consultants. Everyone strives to overdeliver

      Great place to work but beware the recruiting hype on low travel and managable workhours!

      Pros

      Great people! It's really as simple as that! The staff are really hardworking, talented, and sincere. They may sometimes be obsessive about really inconsequential things, but that's only because they want to give clients the very best. The firm goes out of its way to make things easy (e.g. admin support, travel, quality of hotels when on the road, etc.)

      Cons

      Long work hours, type A personalities, really intense! Travel and workhours are always downplayed. Also, the promotion process can be somewhat opaque. You'll often hear partners boasting the place is free of politics. While it is as close to a meritocracy as I've seen, there's an intense political undertone that no one talks about.
