Very positive experience
Nov 27, 2022 - User Experience Design Intern in Manhattan Beach, CARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I interned at BCG Digital Ventures for 10 weeks during the summer. A very friendly work environment with lots of corporate events and internship events. Co-workers are very supportive. Good work-life balance. People at different levels went on vacations during the summer. Hybrid work mode. Most FTE only comes to the office 1-2 days a week. Cool and fun projects.
Cons
The work environment might change based on the project you are working on. I was told it was more intensive than tech companies, but I felt it has better WLB than the classic consulting BCG. The designer gets a seat based on my short experience. Senior and higher levels may need to travel 50%.

Grueling work culture, decent place to learn.
Apr 27, 2022 - Software EngineerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
You will likely learn a lot quickly. There are interesting travel opportunities, but that's dependent on being on a case with travel. Health care benefits are great. Many of the people I worked with were very intelligent and friendly co-workers.
Cons
Work culture is awful. Pay is below what other tech companies can offer you. Almost everyone works over 40 hours every week. People are generally expected to work after hours. At the worst I had days where I would work from the moment I woke up until I went to bed Management has learned how to not explicitly tell you to work these long hours, rather just strongly imply it and avoid a paper trail to avoid putting themselves on the line. For example, I had caught COVID and was asked to work through it still. This is was done through Zoom calls and calls to my personal phone, leaving no paper trail for management to be directly caught by. This has happened for others in similar situations of illness or working through holiday breaks. The cycle of cases also means you generally can't take off outside of specific windows in-between cases. Unless you get deathly sick, good luck taking time off outside of that. It was not uncommon to talk to colleagues and find they had been working 60+ hour weeks consistently for months without a day off. Growth opportunities are needlessly slow.
