BCG offers internships within core consulting, but also training within the tech space, such as data science and analytics, strategic and experience design, and software engineering, to name but a few. Whichever internship you choose, you’ll have a dedicated support network of BCGers, teaching you new skills every day, such as problem-solving, data analysis, and presenting and pitching ideas, setting you up for success in whichever career path you should choose.

Digital BCG, BCG GAMMA, and BCG Platinion offer interns an inside look at what it’s like to work within the technology consulting at BCG, supplying real-world experience and the chance to sharpen their digital abilities. The availability of opportunities can vary by location but may include data science and analytics, software engineering, cyber security, strategic design, experience design, risk management, enterprise solutions, and financial engineering.  

Most internships last for two to three months, but some may range from a few weeks to a year depending on the role and location.

Culture & vibe

Diversity and inclusion are crucial for the progress and success of a 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 its 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. Their core values are more than just principles. It’s actually built into BCG culture through their work and actions.
