Somehow I was left out of the loop when it comes to knowing the big name consulting firms. Going to a small school (about 3,000 undergrad), I guess I had heard of firms like Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and McKinsey, but they don't recruit on our campus. So, of course, this makes it a lot harder to get an interview, never mind a job.
It wasn't until last week in my strategic management class that I realized just how much clout a firm like BCG has. Apparently they have a developed a model that is used (and now taught) internationally. And its NAMED after them....so I would say that enhances their reputation just a little bit. The Boston Consulting Group Matrix helps a company to come up with the optimal portfolio of businesses they are involved in and ultimately plan their cash flows.
I figured I should do some research on the company so I could see for myself (and then share with you) what's so great about BCG.
Here's what I found:
- Their mission is to help firms create a sustained competitive advantage
- Working Mother magazine names BCG among the best 100 companies
- Ranked 8th in Fortune magazine's best companies to work for
- With an undergraduate degree you will enter the firm as an associate
- They do case interviews. Here are some practice ones
- Learn more with their FAQs
