Great company to work for

Associate consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Bain has a strong and prestigious name which opens doors to virtually anything you may want to do in the future. Bainies are smart and fun to work with and are 'at-cause' in identifying with the client's most burning issues.

Cons

For a global consulting firm, it is very regionalized and offers limited opportunities for a global experience. While there is global training and some transfer opportunities, overall there aren't man instances where case teams can work outside their home office.

overall a great place to work and develop coming out of undergrad

Associate consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

(from an associate consultant perspective) -great professional development opportunities, you will definitely be pushed and challenged -steep learning curve, you won't have time to get too bored of any topic or industry -exposure to a variety of industries and business problems -plenty of opportunities to develop close relationships with colleagues

Cons

(still from an associate consultant perspective) -has gotten more hierarchical over the past few years -culture has disintegrated, not a place to go if you're looking for the "fratty" culture -lack of control over what cases you get staffed to -lots of variability around which consultants, managers, and partners you get staffed with -- some you may end up getting along with great, and others may be awful to work with
