Pros

Very few workplaces offer the types of challenges that you can get at BCG. BCG targets the best students from the top undergraduate and MBA programs. This makes BCG a much more enjoyable place to work because you know that you are working with the best. I most enjoy working on different client engagements and getting the opportunity to continually learn new industries and skills.

Cons

The travel is a little intense at times making work life balance a challenge.

Pros

- Best opportunity to work on "pure" strategy cases (especially growth strategy) - Customized approach to each project / client keeps work fresh and interesting - Management trust and high expectations from the start helped me develop quickly - Innovative / breakthrough approach to balancing work-life (led to an HBS-published case) - Wonderful international work opportunities

Cons

High business growth, mixed with our customized approach, means little time to sit back and take a rest Internal knowledge sharing leads to great international conversations, but could be made more efficient

Pros

Super-smart colleagues, challenging work, access to top management at Fortune 500 companies. You will not find another job that offers the same opportunities for development and that has a real focus on your personal well-being.

Cons

Travel, travel, travel! Don't think you can count on local case. That being said, there is a real focus on making the job sustainable.
