On the road to success, everyone encounters unexpected circumstances as well as exciting opportunities. Along the way, each of us will explore a range of personal and career development options. Sometimes, our choices require us to take time away from work. To the extent possible, BCG gives us the leeway to travel the path we choose in the way that works best for us individually.

Our people are the foundation of BCG's success. So we are flexible in making adjustments to your working arrangements, consistent with the needs of our clients. Whether you choose to be away from work for an extended time, part-time, or just for a few hours during the day, we respect your needs. Your dedication to clients and colleagues inspires our trust that you will skillfully balance and manage your personal and work commitments. We do not judge your performance by the time you stay in the office; we measure performance by what you accomplish.



    Personal Growth Stories

Leaves of Absence

For a variety of reasons, you may want to take an extended break from work. Life may require you to be with a sick parent, you may want to spend more time with your family, or you could decide to return to school for another degree. In the project-based world of BCG, it is easier to take a leave of absence between projects than it would be in most other professions.

And while this option gives you additional flexibility in charting your own course at BCG, a leave of absence will not weigh against your overall career progression. When you return to the firm, you will pick up where you left off, and your career will advance as you continue to gain experience and expertise.

Part-time Arrangements

BCG understands that certain changes in your life may require you to rebalance your personal and work responsibilities. We, therefore, provide the option of working part-time.

In keeping with our strong commitment to fostering personal growth, we make every effort to sustain your career development while you work part-time. We find assignments for you that will involve continued work on client projects or other suitable opportunities to contribute directly to the company's growth.

Working part-time does not limit your career at BCG; it may just take you a little longer to gain the skills and experience you need to achieve your goals. You will continue to have the same opportunities as your colleagues and earn equal recognition for your contributions to our clients and to BCG.

At BCG, we recognize and appreciate that each of us works differently. We believe that flexible work arrangements are not only a tribute to everybody's individual needs, but also contribute to achieving the best results for each of us and for our clients.
