Pros

BCG Brand Free and Good Food Training, Parties and Vacations in 5 Star hotels

Cons

Would have rated Negative if there was a rating. Long list of Cons actually - 1. Favouritism - If you spend most of your time talking to managers who like to get their empty egos massaged you'll get good projects and on-site opportunities- and promotions. 2. No work life balance- You can be asked to work from home on your vacations as things are almost always on fire and all things are due yesterday. 3. Work from home - They claim to be very employee friendly but frown and harras every time you want to WFH-unless you are on pre-informed pre-approved leave. 4. Over time: No matter how late you stayed in office for a case - you have to leave yourself for home be it 2 am at night- no concern for women's safety. 5. Lying Upper Management- I have seen upper management openly lying to freshers about kind of exposure, benefits and expected hike you'll get. 6. Mental Harassment & Toxic work environment - Hostile work environment for someone who wants to only succeed by good work and client feedback - 7. Verbal Abuse - Many times the senior most manager has been known to abuse people even in Hindi Language although that never happened to me.

Pros

BCG has top tier benefits, really smart colleagues, good in-office perks, and has a great company reputation. This was a huge part of my experience and has made me go back forth about my decision to leave.

Cons

This is speaking as someone who is not on the consulting side. On my particular team, office politics were very strong with little to no opportunities for people outside of the inner circle to assimilate. More broadly, I feel like the salary trajectory was a little slow, there is a lack of location mobility and and promotions can be hard to come by. Even so, I have personally seen exceptions be made for certain people. More broadly, being located in North America can be difficult since new roles are being open in other regions which is making internal mobility next to impossible. If you have any dissatisfaction with your current team, title, or level - there's a real possibility that you will have to wait multiple years before being able to make meaningful shifts towards your long term career goals.
