Work and Culture
Who We Work With
Our clients include the largest organizations in sectors such as financial services, telecommunications, energy, retail and consumer goods, transportation and tourism, industrial goods, and health care. We work on the strategic challenges our clients face, and we support the recommended transformations.
Programs
The consultants in the Lisbon office are active participants in international projects, which provide major opportunities to experiment, learn, and develop. There are many ways in which to take part, including single projects done within an international team, global mobility programs with a one-year timeline and temporary or permanent transfers to other offices. Portugal has many examples of people moving to other offices, establishing their own roots, and eventually becoming partners. Overall, BCG's global footprint means that our consultants can shape their own path and expertise, exposing themselves to internationally diverse business contexts according to their evolving goals.
Social Impact
In addition to sporadic voluntary activities, we support one NGO every year. From 2015 to 2016, we worked with Oikos, a leading NGO in Portugal that is focused on three main intervention areas: emergency and humanitarian action, sustainable development, and mobilization for global citizenship. The organization is developing a project that aims to help NEETs—young people "not in education, employment, or training"—develop skills and find motivation to become active citizens and have a more solid career path. We have helped them develop their funding strategy and value proposition, allowing more young NEETs to benefit from their work.
Our Office Culture
One of the main characteristics of Lisbon office is our collaborative environment. On an employee’s first day, there is a great deal of training available, as well as constant feedback that supports each individual to progress in his or her career. The hard work is also compensated by relaxing and entertaining activities, including a monthly event, an animated end-of-year party, a fun and relaxing summer outing, and our enthusiastic football and volleyball teams that participate in an international tournament every year.
