Everyone at BCG is bright, smart, young, and ambitious. If you're used to being the top of your class, make sure to mentally prepare yourself for this company. You will need to work extremely hard to stand out at the company because of all the talented young consultants. The best thing is that I look at the Managers and Partners and truly feel like they are people I can look up to.

We hire the top from the best business schools around the globe. Even though every consultant is top-notch, each one of us is humble, friendly, and welcoming. It is very tough to get into the firm, but once you're in you know you're among people that you can truly look up to and respect.

Even though everyone here is highly motivated, the culture is very collaborative rather than competitive. Everyone from the Partners to the Analysts work together to encourage each other and help each other succeed on projects.
