Women at BCG

BCG strives to hire the best people regardless of gender. As well as the intellectual curiosity and ambition we look for in all BCGers, women also bring the special qualities of empathy, diplomacy, and the ability to develop interpersonal relationships our clients especially value, helping us to build strong and diverse project teams. Women are a critical component of our business and we strive to attract and retain the best.

BCG women have consistently been recognized as some of the finest consultants in the world. We are proud that four of our female partners have been included in Consulting magazine's "Top 25 Most Influential Consultants" – that's three more than any of our leading competitors.

We recognize that professional women face a unique set of hurdles as they navigate their careers. At BCG, reward is based on merit and success, and is directly proportional to talent and effort. We have an impressive history of female leadership and were one of the first to hire a female consultant, elect a female partner, and appoint a woman as head of one of our largest offices. The proportion of women at all levels of BCG is consistently growing and we continue to outperform our peers in this area. Furthermore, an increasing number of BCG women are becoming alumni in leading positions outside BCG.

Our global Women’s Initiative supports and promotes affiliation among our female employees through its formal and informal network of mentors and role models. We also regularly schedule women-specific events, including gatherings in local offices and regional conferences.

Finally, for women (and men) who need more flexibility to attend to family or other personal commitments, we offer a range of progressive options. These include part-time employment, leaves of absence, and temporary non-client-facing roles.

We are committed to your success, both professional and personal.
