Pros
The people are what make BCG special. Management broadly cares about the right things. The benefits are best in class and unmatched in other industries. $0 insurance with low co-pays. Profit sharing towards retirement. Many offerings that support mental health and work/life integration. Lots of perks. The offices are beautiful and the amenities make working from them enjoyable (snacks, drinks, baristas, free lunch, wellness spaces.) The office experience teams plan happy hours and organize activities that create a fun atmosphere that feels different from past industry gigs. I appreciate the feedback culture - people let you know when you’ve done a good job or how you can improve in the future which alleviates second guessing and performance ambiguity.
Cons
Many of the internal functional teams are understaffed. The complicated org structure makes navigating tasks and gaining alignment difficult.
