Reviews about "hour"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Great job to become a talented specialist
May 12, 2021 - Project Leader in SeoulRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great culture / Best colleagues
Cons
Long working hour / limited opportunity to go abroad than Mckinsey
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Mixed experience, but the bad overshadows the good
Jun 14, 2021 - Associate in SydneyRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Fast pace learning, travel and meal perks (pre-Covid), intelligent peers, chance to experience life in many big companies.
Cons
Zero work life balance (often worked 90+ hour weeks) leads to burnout, then hard to get sick or annual leave. No choice on industries or projects. Big diversity issue with senior management (good luck progressing if you're not Caucasian). Intimidation and bullying from project leaders is rife.
Continue reading - Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
LOTS of free food, and again more food and great parties and diners at the expense of very generous (dumb?) clients (or maybe they have no idea where their $ go?). Great salary (although if you do the math by the hour you may not find it so attractive). Great benefits . Great learning and development options. You will meet some really smart (and arrogant) people; this will give you a chance to build a network for the future.
Cons
The cons exceed by far the pros in my opinion. If you want to be part of an organization that values arrogance over knowledge, gossip and constant subjective evaluation over team group, and true organic added value, if you are a Trump fan and wish to be part of a group that admires and provides support to the Trump administration (CEO, Rich Lesser is a enthusiast) , if you want to be part of a white boys’ club that does not promote diversity (besides what they advertise there is almost no minority that reach the partnership level) then yes, this is the right “club” to join.
Continue reading - Former Intern, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Learned a lot about the industry from the team
Cons
Too long working hour, few respect for interns
- Former Intern, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
1. Collaborative Environment 2. Lots of learning opportunities 3. More experienced colleagues treat you as equal instead of subordinates 4. Chance to work in other relevant BCG offices.
Cons
1. Time may not be predictable (but this paints an accurate consulting working hour! )
