      Pros

      Great projects, great people, high impact, always challenging

      Cons

      Work life balance suffers, lots of travel, and lots of hours if you want to be above average and make it through the rankings. A lot of politics in the last years to make it to Partner

      Pros

      - great people - mostly high impact work - amazing perks and benefits - great training opportunities - fast career growth

      Cons

      - as with all consulting, lots of travel - hours can be long - some projects not as exciting as others

      Advice to Management

      Do more work on the work life balance side as people mostly leave because of that

      Great people in a fast paced environment that accelerates career trajectories and leads to non-stop learning

      Cons

      Hours can be very long and personal life is always second to making sure the job gets done on time

      Advice to Management

      Keep fostering a great environment for new consultants to learn and grow, but consider offering more competitive compensations, especially to undergraduate hires

      Pros

      Great people. Generally interesting projects if you are working in areas you like. Adds a lot of credibility to your resume and you have the opportunity to pick up some solid skills.

      Cons

      A lot of travel and quite a lot of work. The idea of BCG being a "strategy" firm seems to be dying -- more implementation work now that strategy. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's not what some people expect.

      Advice to Management

      Firm is getting away from generalist approach and strategy work. Please try to keep incubating those themes for people who are interested.

      Pros

      - Great people - always smart, usually kind, good team environment - Good office culture - Great place to learn and grow professionally

      Cons

      The only cons I have are the ones you'd find for any similar job at a top management consulting firm: you will work a lot and you will likely experience a high degree of stress. The firm does what I can to combat that, but it's just the nature of the work

      Fabulous investment in training and support. Great people and learning opportunities.

      Cons
