As of 2022, our systems of BCG Switzerland, Germany & Austria (G&A), and CEE (Central Eastern Europe) have been united to form our new BCG system called Central Europe (CE). In total, CE spans across seven European countries: Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. Approximately 4,000 multinational employees are located in 13 offices: Berlin, Budapest, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Geneva, Hamburg, Munich, Prague, Stuttgart, Vienna, Warsaw, and Zurich.
Our most vital resource is our people. That’s why Human Resources is one of our most vital teams: From recruiting to career development for BCGers, and from training and mobility support to staffing (assigning our consultants to client casework), the Human Resources Team plays a decisive role in making BCG not just a company, but a Group in which each individual can be their best.
