We have a pretty well run "short term staffing" situation where you're assigned to help on proposals, do bitch work for other cases, or other stuff like that. You get found pretty quickly if you don't have some one providing cover. In the last 12 months I've done temp work for a few weeks at most.
In the 2.5 years I've been at BCG I've spent 1 week total on the bench. But as BCG1 says, we have a short term staffing system to make use of bench time
We don't do utilization either. Over the last year I have spent maybe 2.5 weeks on the beach with 1.5 doing work to support other studies. Some get lucky and spent up to 4-5 weeks a year on the beach but usually they try to staff fairly quickly.
We also don't do utilization on an individual basis (though North American utilization as a whole dictates our profit sharing $ for employees, that's more about the work that's been sold than what you personally have done). In my year here, I've had three beach days. Some have had up to six weeks (not all at once obviously); the average is probably 1-2 weeks. There's been plenty of client dev and backfill work given that our office has been sold out for a while. I get that it's good for us but would love more beach 😜
