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.

Not saying the animal should have gone up there but she had a roller bag, a stroller, a carry-on, two kids, and a dog. Wouldn't it make sense to check a bag?
PSA- don’t fly United... I actively avoid the airline, instead opting for a layover on another airline
Don’t travel with pets
Principal1, you sound like you need a mother very, very badly
I’m just curious. The fresh air in the overhead isn’t very limited, those compartments are not airtight or anything. Not sure how wondering what the mechanism is here makes me so awfulz
You asked why people thought you were awful. Now you know why one person does. The same could be said about your communication skills. I hope you exercise better judgement in communicating with your clients
Is there any indication that the overhead bin somehow caused the dog’s death? Did it get crushed up there or something?
At least United immediately owned it and is dealing with it - unlike last time when they blamed the passenger, making it appear that they supported the violence that took place.
P1 does it matter? Putting a dog in the overhead with limited fresh air and shifting luggage isn’t a good idea. A child knows this. Telling an owner to do so is an act of animal cruelty. The owner complying is bizarre and infuriating. As someone who loves dogs the whole episode is maddening.
As an FYI your pets are most likely to die while being transported by UA. The rate of death is low (2.4 per 10,000) but is the highest in the industry (9x Alaskan Airlines) and could be an indicator that UA doesn’t provide a safe environment.
Interestingly delta has taken to shipping pets in temperature controlled areas which sounds like a much better option. Time will tell.

Hard that tell how much fresh air available without an actual study replicating conditions. Bags could block air flow leading to a buildup of co2 over a three plus hour period. Guessing is useless. Local air movement may be low, temperatures may be high, luggage is shifting, puppies have more health issues and snub nose dogs tend to have respiratory problems.
The fact that you don’t automatically recognize that this is a terrible thing to do to a dog and someone’s pet is what makes you awful. No clue why the airline would put a pet into an obviously high risk situation
Implied attitude given your “is there any indication that the the overhead bin somehow caused the dog’s death?”
I don’t think that’s the question you should be asking because it is tone deaf and irrelevant. The meaningful question is why is anyone putting a dog in the overhead bin? We know little about the safety of such travel arrangements despite your unsubstantiated view that there is plenty of fresh air.
Statement from United, “At least all dogs go to heaven."
Correct, I blame the owner
PSA- don’t take your animals on United
Apparently the flight was very turbulent, so that may have played a role
The whole situation is awful. But I don’t understand why the dog could not have been brought down to foot level after take off if the true issue was that the bag did not fit under the seat. The owners probably should have asked to be deplaned when this occurred, but I absolutely believe that there was a flight attendant on a major power trip here as well.
I guess the dog suffocated.
At what point did I say that it’s not terrible, exactly?
I don’t care a whit what questions you think I should be asking. I asked the question I wanted to know the answer to. What you choose to infer is your business. I hope you exercise stronger critical thinking skills doing your actual work.
Dog probably died from a mix of shock / fear from turbulence and being in the dark and suffocation (snub nosed dogs are rejected by certain airlines due to risk) in a confined area
