Working at BCG is no longer competitive, except for the brand value it adds to one's CV

Dislikes

Over Glorified jobs and people, 90% people don't have ground level basic experience for the industries where they claim to be experts in. Mostly they are cut copy paste experts for showing fantastic results on slides to clients . There's no culture no responsibility towards employees, it's just a matter of using them as disposable talent as long as it suits organisations interests.
