      Great place to work but don't bother recruiting for a consulting position with the Chicago office if you are not white

      Pros

      *less travel on average compared to other top consulting firms. Focus on travel only as needed. Get to spend a lot of time in the office with teammates and colleagues. *thought provoking work and generally great teams and clients *exit opportunities are great and if you just want a break, easy to take a sabbatical or transfer for a 6 month period to another office for a new experience

      Cons

      *Only a handful of non-white candidates end up getting offers and coming here. Hypocritical that even though "diversity" is mentioned all the time but when it comes down to the final decision, other ethnicities lose out at this office. Seen many less qualified individuals given opportunities over ethnic minorities. Yes, if you visit the office, there is no diversity.

      I learned a ton, and it is a great brand to have on my resume.

      Pros

      - Work hard surrounded by very bright and competent people - Very high learning curve - Good benefits and salary relative to consulting firms out of the top 3

      Cons

      - They play on the emotional weaknesses of consultants to make them work harder - Managers are promoted for being good client managers, not for managing teams well, so a lot of managers are not concerned with how their teams view them

      Good experience but workforce lacks diversity

      Pros

      Surrounded and supported by fun and ambitious co-workers, Bain employees create a team that truly wants to helps its clients

      Cons

      Overall, diversity is lacking within the office (gender, race, academics, etc). Additionally, though it bills itself as the company that 'tell's it like it is' and are 'straight shooters', there is a good deal of opaque and blackbox on-goings and politic-ing behind the scenes.
