NFA, but will be buying up sub 20K BTC… DYOR 🥲
Anyone from Boston Consulting Group Boston Consulting Group (BCG) working in non-consulting - Technology/Engineering/Global Services?
How's the work life balance? Glassdoor reviews are full of "long working hours" and hence wanted to know if it's the same with non-consulting folks as well? How far is it true across the organisation?
Please help me shed some light to decide.
Thanks.

This is why I love working in-house - I work for a fully remote company. There is not enough money in the world to get me to go back to an office more than one day a week, and that one day is draining. I do a ton of writing in my role and being in the office would be a hindrance to productivity. No one needs daily fluorescent lighting.
The failed remote work experiment will be done in a couple of years. 4 days will be the norm
In my previous roll, it was remote with ocassional in-office requirements for meetings, etc. They hinted at everyone coming back. I then created a weekly meeting with my boss and sent him a weekly report of everything I was working on and updating him each week on what I accomplished. I never heard anything about working in the office again. I get way more work done at home because there’s less distraction. Not to mention, at our weekly function council meetings done via zoom, my division always seemed to be near or at the top of when it came to communications. My point to all of this is - wow them with your work and they’ll leave you alone...usually.
No, my husband just left a company bringing evyone back full time for a company that allows their employees to choose what they want to do.
I think it’s very important to provide a distinction here. Is every company or even most company going back to 5 days in the office? No I don’t think so. However, I would say most companies are returning to office at least part of the week. If a company isn’t explicitly saying “we are a remote work business-talent can work from anywhere (in the country not the local area)”, then they are playing word games. I’ve been helping a number of people who have been looking for roles remote and while companies list “remote” what they mean is hybrid, and ideally candidates can come into the office 1-2 days a week.
LinkedIn is also allowing businesses to get away with this by listing a specific city or region followed by “remote” in parentheses. So even when you explicitly search for remote only jobs, these non remote jobs pop up.
The companies are trying to spin the spin people, so beware.
In-house, largely remote but was hired as hybrid. My team is spread across the country so going in isn’t the best use of time 95% of the time especially when my manager never goes in to the office. I go in as needed
I believe most have a mandated hybrid model if you're looking at any sort of agency life.
I was lucky enough to get hired originally on a remote contract, so legally they could not mandate me to move and be part of their 3-day in-office policy. My colleagues had required attendance quotas to meet which I find daunting as someone who has only worked remote their whole career.
