Is BCGs travel policy really business class minimum or is the recruiter blowing smoke? I was flown economy for my interviews.

Biz class minimum for every client related travel of at least 90 min. And for some recruiting and L&D commitments.

NA employees only

You’re welcome

When they said first they meant biz. And it’s 90 min

Food is actual value, up to a reasonable amount. And no, I haven’t heard of people really abusing that “reasonable” amount. I’d say overall behavior it’s pretty ethical

It’s the best travel policy in the industry, but not sure why perks would be relevant, you shouldn’t make a decision to join BCG or not because of them

Over 90 minutes it’s always business (international) or first (domestic). There’s no limit for food expenses, you can do whatever you want. I expense $20 lunches and best room service available but occasionally do $150 dinners and it’s fine, you just use your judgement

Lol. Add value. LOL.

funny

Any other travel perks I should know about?

I wish BCG would even look at my resume

Is it economy for under 90m?
