Pros

Great brand High level work Extremely smart colleagues

Cons

No predictability in schedule (my record was 95+ hours 6 weeks straight, was not flagged by red zone report) Experience largely depends on the teams you've been on Very hard to specialize before the Principal level (staffing needs will always trump your wants)

Pros

People at BCG are smart and down to earth, and this makes it very easy to spend long hours with your team. The learning curve is fast, I probably learned more during my first project at BCG than during a year at B-School. Finally BCG actually tries to make worklife balance a component of the consultant experience. Flexible for mobility.

Cons

I think the biggest downside is the amount of hours worked, however this is an issue at any consulting firm, and BCG at least makes an attempt to create better work/life balance.
