Pros

Good health insurance which helps when you need it but is also a golden handcuff with no other pros there.

Cons

The sanest days are mad Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the price Very closely Some men there They have a special interest In your career They wanna help you to grow And then syphon all your dough Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the glass Hidden in the grass You'll never believe me, so Why don't you find out for yourself Sick down to my heart That's just the way it goes Some men there They know the full extent of Your distress They kneel and pray And they say: "Long may it last!" Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the glass Hidden in the grass Bad scenes come and go For which you must allow Sick down to my heart But that's just the way it goes. Don't rake up my mistakes I know exactly what they are And.... what do they do? Well.... they just SIT THERE I've been stabbed in the back So many many times I don't have any skin But that's just the way it goes

Pros

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Cons

BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
