Amazon. PM at a product company will lead to better opportunities than PM at a consulting firm offshoot. My 0.02.

True. I mean it’s completely fine doing all of those things. But OP seems to have a choice, so it might make sense to go for Amazon. BCG DV is also pretty solid, but perhaps not the better option here.

Amazon for sure. People leave DV for these opportunities.

Thanks all! I interned at Amazon, so this would be a return offer there. I really don't know much about BCG DV and it's reputation/how well they've been doing, but the people I interviewed with did a good job selling the type of work I would be doing as a PM. Not sure how much of that is smoke and mirrors though

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
