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.

Pros

There are three reasons why after 18 years, I still love working for Bain. First is the great people - they're collaborative, smart, high enery, supportive and fun! Second is the high impact and results we drive with our clients. Third is the flexible work options - I was promoted to Partner while working part time (and I was not the first nor last to do so).

Cons

Only con is the nature of consulting - travel. That being said, we travel less than our competitors.

Pros

I have worked at Bain in 3 offices across Europe, Africa & the US. I am exceptionally happy with how it has turned out. My colleagues are hard-working and fun. I have worked in over 20 industries from toothpaste innovation to coal mining. When my wife and I got married, ten of our sixty guests were great friends from Bain. That sums it up for me.

Cons

No denying that the performance bar is high and there's no slacking off!
