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.
