Is BCG deteriorating in terms of culture and quality of people? The folks I’ve talked to recently (from BCG) are slip shod and not professional. Not sure if I had a “miss” but it seems across the board (comparing to McKinsey and Bain) that they are slipping in terms of caliber and reputation. Don’t even want to get into the decision to use a chatbot for interviewing 😳🙄

No we’re doing pretty well as far as I can tell. CoVid times has everyone exceptionally busy so you might catch folks when they are frazzled and that might hurt the interaction - but it’s not because people are getting systemically worse. I spend hours every week during recruiting season talking to folks from my alma mater and it’s a lot - I’m sure at times I don’t come across as the most engaged but I do try and help everyone I speak to, as I’m sure my colleagues do.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant
