Upon opening, BCG's Paris office became the fourth office in our network. As one of BCG's largest offices, it has enjoyed an impressive annual growth rate over the last decade, fueled predominantly by a strong record in client retention.
In fact, the better part of the office's revenue comes from their many long-standing client relationships. Continuing client development also provides strong penetration in top French companies in varied industries, providing services that range from corporate development and organizational effectiveness to organizational change and general and IT strategy work.
Our Paris staff is highly skilled and experienced, and yet as a group, the team is young. The average age is under 30 years old, contributing to the dynamic atmosphere of the office. BCG in Paris invests in its people through a significant commitment to local training. In addition to worldwide and regional training, a new associate or consultant may expect a full month of training during his or her first year alone.
BCG in Paris actively participates in the Ambassador Program, a worldwide office staff exchange program, typically exchanging three or more second-year consultants with other offices around the world each year. In recent years, Paris ambassadors have gone to Germany, the United States, and Australia.
To maintain team spirit, BCG's Paris office hosts weekly and monthly events including office meetings, an annual three-day outing, and a Christmas party. They also participate in athletic and cultural activities together: tennis, skiing, sailing, soccer, and opera or local museum visits.
