The Boston Consulting Group or BCG, is a global management consulting firm, with offices in 40
countries. It is widely recognized as one of the most prestigious management consulting firms in the
world, and a leader in business strategy. It is one of only 3 companies to appear in the top 15 of
Fortune Magazine 's "Best Companies to Work For" report for 5 consecutive years. In the most
recent list, BCG is listed as the 3rd best company to work for, and is the only top-tier consulting firm
to appear in the top 100. BCG is also the only firm to have been listed every year in Consulting
Magazine 's "Best Firms to Work For" list, since its inception in 2001.

The company was formed when Bruce D. Henderson, a Harvard Business School alumnus, left
Arthur D. Little to become head of a new management consulting division of the Boston Safe Deposit
and Trust Company.

In 1975, Henderson arranged an employee stock ownership plan, so that the employees could take
the company independent from The Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company. The buyout of all
shares was completed in 1979.
