Over time, you will narrow-down to a set of 2-3 topics and research areas of focus based on mix of research interests and/or case exposures, which will help you provide value-added research support to our Case and Knowledge teams.

BCG’s Due Diligence practice at DRS supports consulting and other internal teams at BCG by providing comprehensive secondary research solutions.
