Pros

Professional and personal development, enhanced through a culture of coaching and frequent feedback. Amazing culture, great people to work with and learn from. This is particularly important given the intensity and long hours. Work experience difficult to match elsewhere, working directly with CEO's and top management to deal with their most pressing issues. Great for career opportunities when thinking of an exit from consulting. Management is very open, and willing to help consultants in their development independently from their decision to stay at the company.

Cons

Work/life balance: as in any consulting job, it implies long hours and travel. Also, constantly steep learning curve, and job intensity requires to be passionate about the job in order to really enjoy it.

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.
