Pros

- work life balance - Nice teammates

Cons

- Management is filled with old people who just want to play filthy politics with little kids. Holding back promotions of people who deserve them and just depending on their own flawed perceptions to award and reward people - Random decisions taken arbitrarily. No transparency whatsoever - Researchers are treated like nothing in the world. Nobody cares about them. SR's take credit for the good work done by researchers and management doesn't bother to cross check. - No complexity of work. Busy pleasing the likes of KT and CT - SR's are super busy all the time. Not working but Gossiping. Management meetings are all they do. Overpaid and underworked. - Management needs to learn to stand behind their people and encourage kids. People coming from C- grade universities (every person in senior management) are busy telling prospective IIM candidates how awful the B-schools they aim to go to are. It's hilarious. And why do they do this? Because they just want you to get discouraged and stay in their team for the rest of eternity - over hiring. Sick of training people.

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.
