I chose BCG for an internship because the BCG consultants I met during the recruiting process seemed intellectually challenged, enthusiastic about their work, and visibly loved their jobs!
As an intern, I had the opportunity to drive my work, directly engage the clients, and walk away with a clear understanding of what it is like to be a BCG consultant.
There were also many other components to the internship, such as training, lunches, Cubs games, and more, that enabled me to really get to know the Chicago office and my fellow interns.
Overall, I was challenged by the work, encouraged and mentored, and given the opportunity to build lasting friendships. Since returning to BCG full time, I have continued to build on these experiences and have been able match my own interests with my personal development goals.
