More than 90 percent of the staff have worked or studied internationally. Many are PRC natives. Nearly all speak fluent Mandarin and English and have lived in China for many years. Having a staff that speaks the local language and understands the local business environment is crucial to BCG's ongoing success in China. An important objective for the office is to bring to our clients the insightful business solutions that they expect but in a way that accommodates Chinese business conditions.
Shanghai is an exciting place to begin a consulting career in Asia.
China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and Shanghai will be the doorway to this rapidly changing new market. BCG Shanghai's clientele is diverse, including local firms, both private and state-owned, and multinational companies. Project work covers a broad range of industry areas that include financial services, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals and health care, industrial goods, technology, telecommunications, and e-commerce. While the work life at BCG Shanghai can be demanding at times, the office places great importance on building a sense of community and teamwork. The office has regular get-togethers where we share our project experiences and keep in touch with developments across the BCG network.
