  • Obvious and political

    BCG is a consulting firm that does great work, so I wanted to like this. But this is run by marketing so very little that’s not obvious and far too much politics is weaved in.

    Not all bad though. Looking at the style and tone of the comments, BCG is outstanding at getting their people to write comments.

The host appears cutely attuned to the things her audience really wants to ask and/hear. This show set... more
