Pluspunten

Excellent brand name Good work life balance Good office policies minus new sick leave policy :) Office build out and location Good abroad outings especially only if you are in HR function

Minpunten

I have spent enough time in so called HR department of BCG IKA but never found myself proud of it. The organization has great reputation across the world minus IKA. Its simply because of the person who is running the function. If you join this function, you will realize very soon that you are working for this person and not for BCG. She has her own agenda which is unrealistic. And if you don't follow her then be ready to be thrashed. I found malpractices being executed. The recruitment vendor/partner seems to be very good friend with my boss. And you can imagine very well undue favor that is been done both sides. I tried giving right feedback to vendor but I was asked my boss to not create problems for them. Can you believe that your internal org is asking to support vendors even when they are not meeting expectations. Also, there was clear mandate that out of multiple vendors, I need to work maximum profiles only with one vendor who is friend of my boss. I was even asked to reject internal referrals. For most people who are reading this review, it will be easy to understand. I have seen people making personal spend and reimbursing those on company expenses. I found everything unethical practice but cant say this to anyone. I have worked in such prestigious organizations who were not as reputed as BCG but still they had great respect for employees. I was never scolded in public before. I was always respected and my opinions were considered. I was coached earlier but not in this organization. In the end, I would say that the organization is good but the people who are running this is not doing justice.

Pluspunten

BCG has top tier benefits, really smart colleagues, good in-office perks, and has a great company reputation. This was a huge part of my experience and has made me go back forth about my decision to leave.

Minpunten

This is speaking as someone who is not on the consulting side. On my particular team, office politics were very strong with little to no opportunities for people outside of the inner circle to assimilate. More broadly, I feel like the salary trajectory was a little slow, there is a lack of location mobility and and promotions can be hard to come by. Even so, I have personally seen exceptions be made for certain people. More broadly, being located in North America can be difficult since new roles are being open in other regions which is making internal mobility next to impossible. If you have any dissatisfaction with your current team, title, or level - there's a real possibility that you will have to wait multiple years before being able to make meaningful shifts towards your long term career goals.
