Are all these posts about the toxic culture at BCG region specific? Wondering what folks in the Canadian offices are feeling. Is it a toxic culture up north?

Yeah FWIW, these posts about cultural toxicity have not been my experience at all here, nor the experience any of my co-workers. Not trying to invalidate anyone's opinion, and things certainly have not been a cake-walk here. But take what you see/read as a data point and not a sweeping generalization of the firm.

I have not had this experience at all, and I’ve worked with teams in every region in NA.

The Canadian system is great. Don’t get me wrong, the work is intense and expectations high. However, the culture is really supportive and the people are amazing to work with.

Awesome to hear - I just accepted my offer to join soon!
