It's a sick group though - in general, all the special BCG centers like Platinion, ValueScience, DV are super highly regarded and do cool stuff

Judging by the lack of responses to these posts I am guessing we never invited any DV people to fishbowl.

Recently joined DV, amazing experience so far. Pro: Work is both strategic (influence from traditional BCG) and tactical (product build and launch). You will get to work with a lot of ex-consultants, ex-entrepreneurs and designers. VA is great role as they lead most of the ventures. No cons so far. Good luck!

Their lack of presence on fishbowl might be a decent proxy for relative coolness.

Am not DV, but work closely with them. Very cool group, much more creative than the BCG side, but also much less quant (surprise, surprise). Much not Silicon Valley culture than top consulting firm, and they've largely been able to keep that. I do think both sides are very different, but complimentary.

Thanks! What's the general experience level (years in top consultancy post MBA) for the VA role?

I've seen a wide variety. Some MBA > BCG > VA, some MBA>industry>VA, a few MBA>startup>VA. Generally about 2-5 years experience (doesn't have to be top consultancy) post MBA. They are pretty good about hiring peeps with diverse backgrounds
