Pros

- If you push for it, you can have control over your working hours, which is not what Associates/Data Scientist can have at BCG.

Cons

- Data Analyst at BCG != Data Scientist. Data Analyst position corresponds to BCG X Delivery. Data Scientist to BCG X. You belong to a different network and a different office. As a Data Analyst, you will either fall within more support positions (shorter case interactions, building BI systems) or within the same cases with Data Scientists, working as much time but not getting all the benefits (salary + network). - Career progression dies at the Lead level, and it's very hard to pass from Senior to Lead as there are already too many Leads in X Delivery.

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.
