Make your impact on the world.

As a global community of colleagues determined to make the world better every day, we consider making a social impact to be more than just a verbal commitment. It’s actually built into BCG culture through our work and actions. Whether we’re tackling the global climate crisis or improving education for underserved communities, BCG values the opportunity we have to literally change the world. Here are just a few examples of how we’re doing it.

Bring your best self to work and join communities that support you.

Diversity and inclusion are crucial for the progress and success of global business—and the two go hand in hand as a major part of BCG’s culture. A workforce with diverse backgrounds and perspectives opens the door to innovative solutions, but employees also need to feel welcome and supported to share their unique experiences, voice disagreement, and offer new ideas.
​​​​​​​
To empower our global network of employees to be their authentic selves at work, BCG has developed employee resource groups to connect peers, colleagues, and mentors around the globe. These groups create a safe space for growth and community, helping to expand our thinking and enrich the lives of BCGers.

Work in a way that works for you.

Part of embracing a diverse workforce means acknowledging and accepting that not everyone thrives under the same set of circumstances. Because we’re a global firm, you may find yourself working with people from different cultures and time zones, or you may simply need more latitude to be your curious and creative best. That’s why BCG offers three different flexible work options, along with ongoing support to set you up for success.

FlexTime

Part-time arrangements to reduce weekly work hours. BCG will help you design a model that meets your individual needs and career ambitions.

FlexLeave

Opportunities to take an additional block of time off during the year (also known as Time for You in North America).

FlexPaths

Access to experiences to further your personal and professional development, including but not limited to social impact, work abroad, and leaves of absence.
