"BCG doesn't recognize or reward its operations and support roles appropriately. The consulting staff views the operations staff as insignificant and easily replaced. The expectation is for the operations staff to work the same as the consulting staff, but the bonus structure are worlds apart."

"BCG is a place that will inspire you in what is possible to achieve and help you stretch your own capabilities beyond what you thought possible. The coaching, development, and value delivery is all top notch (and compensation is also great). That being said, you need to know how to set your own boundaries and know when to step up because the expectations are high. "

"The company is in the business of client service and therefore, clients come first and you sometimes need to work outside of traditional 8-5 hours. However, the culture is such that it doesn't matter when or where you work as long as you are getting the work done and exceeding client expectations. There are also lots of flexible options for working reduced capacity, generous leave (both paid and unpaid) and some flexibility in shaping your career and clients around where you want to be."

"There is incredible support for women, but at least on the BST side, work flexibility isn't great and the culture as a whole is still changing. Men still dominate the consulting side, and there are times when I feel I would be taken more seriously if I were a man. Leadership is taking active steps to change this culture, but many partners are still old-fashioned and don't seem to buy into the value of diversity."

"It may be different for Consulting Team members, but as a BST employee we don't have much flexibility. We only get one work from home day per quarter, have to make up hours spent going to doctors appointments, etc. The situation is particularly difficult for working parents."

"This is such a great place to work! I'm still fairly young and I'm not thinking about having kids any time soon, but the maternity leave here (16 weeks) is just amazing. We also have a great number of vacation days and unlimited sick days. Of course, the health care is the one thing everyone is talking about, we only pay $5 in copays! Everyone in the office is welcoming and want to make sure you succeed in your career. "

"Understand what team you are joining, what the specific expectations are from that segment of the business and where you are likely to have flexibility and autonomy within that (and where you won't). Also note that who you work for is important in addition to what you do - there is a strong culture of sponsorship here but that means you have to find a sponsor to be successful."

"The amount of flexibility really depends on your role. Most internal roles allow for greater flexibility on a daily basis, but there are some that are more challenging to be flexible with as you need to be in the office on a regular basis and can't work remotely. Client facing roles while can be flexible are more demanding and require you to effectively communicate your time boundaries with client and team in order to achieve that flexibility."

"BCG is an exceptional place to work as a woman. The firm places a significant value on diversity and inclusion, which is reflected in the resources which support women at BCG across career development, trainings, maternity leave policies, etc. This is not to say BCG is perfect - historically consulting has been male-dominated and that doesn't change overnight - but the firm has made a lot of progress and continues to focus on this topic as a key driver of overall firm success. I feel highly valued and supported as a woman at BCG."

"As a consultant, you will be expected to travel at some point. So to the extent that travel isn't family-friendly, the job won't be family friendly. It just comes with the territory. It seems like BCG is trying to do a lot to make things easier for parents, but again, the travel is a limiting factor that is hard to work around indefinitely, though you can avoid it for periods of time.

"It's a demanding job and to be fair, it compensates fairly well in comparison to other consulting firms. The real upside of this job is the plethora of options it opens up afterwards, so definitely a good pit stop to make in the early part of your career but beware that climbing the ladder internally requires serious commitment sometimes to the exclusion of everything else outside of work"

"Support for women dwindles the lower down the ladder you are, leaving those with the fewest resources and greatest dependency the most vulnerable. More disposable and less visible administrative roles don't have access to the same organizational backup or negotiating muscle of six-figure consultants; obviously that's truer for women at every level across the board. Neither HR nor my manager were willing to act on my behalf after a partner and managing director repeatedly violated company policy with inappropriate (sometimes illegal) personal requests; as a direct result I resigned immediately after securing employment elsewhere."

"It can be a really amazing experience but it's not for everyone -- the hours and travel are tough. But if you work hard, do well, and find a good niche it can be hard to beat the impact/importance of the work and the freedom and flexibility at times, and the top-notch pay and benefits."

"BCG is very supportive of women and constantly working hard to overcome the previously male-dominated culture. Our benefits are quite generous, and you can really take as much time off for things like maternity as you want (it just won't be paid after 12 weeks). It's client service, so there are always last minute requests and "fire drills", but in general it is quite flexible, without the need for "face time". This was very important to me after having kids."

"There are lot of unspoken biases. Women, early on, tend to get stuck with "low risk" modules. This makes it harder for them to prove their value on a team. It is more of a worthless till proven worthy model for women, whereas men are assumed to be good till they prove otherwise.
There were very few women partners that were respected. Out of the 4 that I knew, only 1 was respected and liked. This perpetuated a culture that men were better leaders than women."

"Ask around and understand what the experience is like for the women you meet with. Ask about the portion of women and how it compares to the local area. Be sure that you agree with the reasons. Also -- if there are no women, it's probably not a good sign. Even as an intern, I felt like I was treated differently than my male colleagues despite the fact that even as full-time employees, only a small portion was expected to remain at BCG before child-bearing years."
