Pros

You gain an incredibly vast and deep understanding of whatever industry you're working with, and this changes every project. The timeline for each case is extremely short, meaning you're constantly being pushed to deliver impactful results.

Cons

You'll find that a lot of the time you will be working late to finish the work you've been tasked to do, and clients may be unreasonable regarding working hours/schedules. However, there is a solid support scheme for employees, meaning the necessary assistance will be provided when the work environment reaches a stressful level.

Pros

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Cons

BCG isn't what it used to be. Former CEO Rich Lesser cared about Innovation about deep IP and expertise, truly about unlocking the human potential that powers us. Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted. Lots of politics, lots of words, limited action from PA leadership, largely because they are unable to make a decision, going back and forth on priorities; Every MDP wanting to own something, with too many chefs in the kitchen, and not enough true clarity. Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
