Pros

The BCG Brand is second to none in the marketplace and gives you the type of access to subsequent career opportunities that you can't find anywhere else. You work some of the smartest people in business.

Cons

The work life balance leaves a lot to be desired and the promotion process can be very political. There is very little opportunity to be different - you either fit in or you will face a glass ceiling relatively early in your career. They could significantly improve their diversity and put more focus on helping to develop a broader base of recruiting, so everyone isn't so similar.

Pros

Very prestigious firm, looks great on any resume. You learn a lot, fast. The people are top notch, all very bright. The pay is good, if you last a few years. Great benefits, the profit sharing is amazing. The people are generally very nice--compared to wall street, these guys are much less cocky and obnoxious.

Cons

Very competitive environment. If you don't progress quickly in the eyes of managers, you are fired. The hours and lifestyle are difficult. The traveling scheduling is intense, despite what they tell you during recruiting, you will travel a lot. They talk a good game about feedback, but in reality many managers don't give honest assessments of your work until its too late.
