      Pros

      Career acceleration relative to working in industry directly out of MBA program. Based on the people I have talked to, spending time as a consultant puts you in a position to be hired at a more senior position in industry than if you had entered directly. The consenesus on the amount of time to spend in consulting is 1 year after you make manager.

      Cons

      Lifestyle and travel can be difficult if you have a family, although Bain is very good about discussing the family commitments with employees and helping to arrange engagements that allow the employee to meet those commitments

      The Best Consulting Firm

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Bain offers numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth that are hard to find at other companies, even other consulting firms. The people their are great, I made so many life long friends during my time there -- smart, confident and driven yet enjoy life and don't take themselves too seriously. Finally, Bain is remarkably well-run for such a large oranization. They do a good job of keeping career development and promotions transparent and making sure the staff gets the training and feedback they need to grow and develop.

      Cons

      It's consulting firm. Bain is a world-class organization and without a doubt the best company I've ever worked for, but if you want to be something other than an adviser, eventually you have to move on.

      Typical pros and cons of a large top-tier management consultancy

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Advancement opportunities: Bain offers a career path you're unlikely to find elsewhere in management consulting, let alone other industries. Good money: Bain is tight on travel expenses and this allows to maximise net income, mostly to the partners' benefit but also to generous salary raises across all levels, based on performance. Learning environment: the training sessions are frequent and thoughtful, and you learn from intelligent and articulate people on a daily basis. Brand on your cv

      Cons

      Lots of possibly unnecessary travel: Bain Italy tends to staff people at the client's monday/friday, often to nobody's advantage and just to show the client we're there. Long hours: like every management consultancy.
