1. Work life balance mostly sucks People normalise working very very long hours here. People need to learn that life exists outside of office work as well. Request to Management - Please ensure a good work life balance at BCGX, all other initiatives are good and appreciated but please make the life easy by not normalising extended work hours.

Dislikes

Less hikes to internal employees. They benchmark you down if they hire you on a higher package. Otherwise people who are paid less are given excuses like benchmarking cannot happen before two years and it cannot happen after promotion etc. For promotion you get same excuses. Official limit is 18 months but manager say that before three years its like asking a favour. They tell you from day one that bcg will not retain an employee and they let go such people who have better offer. The day you resgn everything changes all rules out of the window. They say that they support IJP but will not allow you to go for it before 18 months on your current role. At that time yoj also become elogible for promotion so if you apply for IJP manager outright threatens that you will not be considered for promotion in the team so now its either cracking an IJP or stay at same position.
