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.

Great company but can do better on leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Intellectual stimulation Career prospects post Bain Opportunity to work with some of the brightest and most motivated people in your geography Very good pay relative to the rest of the industry although you do have to earn it

Cons

Very long hours - although monitored by HR strictly - much of the stimulating work becomes tedious due to workload Very little in the way of work life balance. You have your weekends but you spent 9am to 12pm in the office Little in the way of client interaction if your office is heavily PE weighted Poorly developed leadership skills of senior consulting staff can make it difficult if you come from another environment

Tons of smart and interesting people working alongside you.
