      Great place for accelerating a post-MBA career

      Pros

      Bain is a great place to continue the MBA learning experience and start applying the tools that you learn in business school. What sets it apart from other consulting firms is the positive and supportive environment that the firm has built. Bain is full of smart, motivated people who work hard, but also do their best to enjoy the work while they do it.

      Cons

      Like any consulting position, Bain is not an "easy" job. You are constantly challenged and obviously the travel lifestyle can be tough (though Bain does its best to mitigate such lifestyle challenges when it can).

      Great place to work!

      Pros

      Smart, down-to-earth, motivated colleagues at every level (including support staff); very interesting client work; constant challenge making it a great learning experience

      Cons

      The most important downside of working at Bain (or any other consulting firm) are the unpredictable lifestyle. One project you may have to travel 3 days a week and on another you can be home all the time. You may work 40 hours a week or 80 hours a week. It's difficult to plan life around that.

      Great first year

      Pros

      I have had great professional development opportunities - challenging work, constant feedback, strong mentors. This first year has been full of varied projects, in different industries and in different sizes/types of companies. My co-workers have been some of the highlights of my year - great friendships with people built around work but extended into our personal lives.

      Cons

      Bain has a very direct feedback style, which can often throw people off a bit. You need to make sure that you are seeking out mentors and coaching to ensure that you are getting the positive coaching that you need to deal with perhaps tougher feedback. People who don't seek out support when things aren't going well often don't rebound from a bad project.
