From the very beginning of BCG, consultants have been encouraged to have living and working experience outside their own culture. Although specific client requirements do not allow completely unencumbered individual choice of location and assignment, opportunities abound. BCG is a global firm with 48 offices worldwide. There is wide range of international opportunities within the firm. There are also numerous opportunities to work on individual cases in other offices around the world.
Formal training is broken down into local-office and global training.
There are global training events at each stage of career development, and continuous local-office training covering the entire spectrum of professional development skills. The informal training happens every day. Evaluation at BCG is taken very seriously. One of the most important components of professional development is learning from previous experiences. There is a concerted effort to offer continuous informal feedback as well as more formal feedback at the end of each case.
