Boston Consulting Group Employee Reviews about "great people"

Pros

Great people Lots of fun Learning & development

Cons

Promotion too slow Internal operations not efficient

Pros

Great people, great culture, great work atmosphere that brings the best out of everybody.

Cons

I do not have any

Pros

Interesting and varied project load, great people, work/life balance increasingly prioritized, decent compensation (taking into account work load), professional and structured approach to career development, great place to learn rigour and skills you'll need regardless of where you continue your career

Cons

Common with short deadlines that drives long hours to satisfy partners' (or ambitious project leaders') promises to clients, a varied project load also leads to some (much) less interesting assignments, at times high travel load

Advice to Management

Allow greater degree of specialization when consultants want this

Pros

Really great people who are friendly and smart - made friends for life here

Cons

Depending on the project, hours can be tough

Great learning, great people, great projects, highly supportive of diversity

Keep promoting women through the ranks.

long hours potentially depending on project (average 60hrs/week)

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work - great place to work! Would recommend. Manage expectations on mix of projects that can be expected

Pros

Extraordinary exposure, great people and impressive skills to build up

Cons

Not for the faint hearted, long hours highly stressful and needs some flexibility to decide on the next step, industry is often a difficult choice to take

Pros

- Great people - Great salary - Large responsibility given - Travel - Prestige - A lot of contact time with managers - Supportive colleagues - No face time required - Lots of team events

Cons

- Long hours - Had to work on weekends - Did not have much choice on the industry I was working on - Did not have much assigned support, I was lucky enough to network around the office to find the relevant support

Advice to Management

More support for summers via assigning a set number of meetings with supervisors throughout the internship. Often the meeting to do with my development were pushed aside or delayed.
