BCG is a strong company and the future of the company is looking very bright. I am constantly staffed on fun projects with very large, well-known companies. When you get on board with this company, know that they will work you very hard; however, the experience is well worth it. You can also feel confident about your job security - as long as you are performing well that is.

This is truly a great place to work. Dress is business casual at the office (business professional when meeting a client) and absolutely everyone is friendly and welcoming. BCG takes great pride in its client interaction, business solutions, recruitment, and its people. You will gain valuable experience (personally and professionally) and you will be well respected wherever you go after BCG.

I like BCG because we truly develop strategies and solutions that the companies can take action on. Most other strategy consulting firms deal with theory only; we go into the field, collect primary data, analyze, and then go the the management to tell them what they need to do. Our recommendation are much more valuable because we actually get to get our hands dirty with our work.

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.

The company culture is all about collaboration. Everyone in the office works together to support, mentor, and help each other reach a goal. This prevents any feeling of competition or a "cut-throat" environment (like McKinsey). Dress is business casual around the office and the hours are great as far as consulting goes. We work about 65 hours a week on average.

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.

The training we receive is absolutely amazing. We not only get specific times for just training, but we also learn a tremendous amount on the job. We are assigned a mentor when we first come into the the company which is very helpful to help us ease into the consultant lifestyle. The pay is great; the experience is even better.

BCG has a metric called the Red Zone Report. This is used to track employee hours and make sure that the employee has a strong balance between work and life. If an employee falls into the "Red Zone," then the Managers will help the employee bring more balance to his or her life. I love this company culture because it makes me feel like they truly do care about us.
