Pros

Great for CV and network building. Particularly good place to start your Career if you are straight out of school. Exposure to many industries and great at learning how to break down complex problems. Training courses are great and can be overseas. Opens up many doors later on especially if you want to move into industry.

Cons

Not having a life! No time off. No real diversity in the office as most people have or are doing an MBA from 1 of ~5 schools, most people are not really aware of what else is out there. Quite easy to get caught up in the world of consulting. Not sure how well consulting equips you for executing real work in industry.

Pros

Amazing learning experiences. Lots of prestige. Sense of accomplishment when completing work. Dynamic environment, Relatively manageable lifestyle Better hours than ibanking and competitor Mckinsey Great exit opps into Private Equity, Hedge Funds and F500 companies Amazing culture led by young and driven people Focus is on implementation and data, which has delivered superior results over the year Our clients outperform their market 4 to 1

Cons

Long hours Smaller company, and perhaps less name recognition than McKinsey. Very quantatively driven which can become tedious at times Perhaps too much focus on PE which could limit exit opps into F500 Too much time spent on mindless-tasks and powerpoint presentations

Pros

Bain & Company has a great brand name in the market. You work on some of the most high profile deals out there. But in some cases the hours can be a little daunting but the nature of the work and the pay make the job worth it. For a person straight out of any undergrad school that has an eye for business school this is one of the best places to be.

Cons

The hours can be challenging to deal with sometimes, but the perks definitely make the job worth it. It's a fabulous place to work when you're young.
