Pros

The Brand name is very strong...much stronger than banks like JP Morgan, Lehman, Bear Stearns, or UBS..... Below prestige of Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley. Proportionately, we probably get more people into Harvard and Stanford B-School though.

Cons

The compensation is too low, and there is not enough variation to separate the great employees from the good ones. There is also sometimes an awful lot of the consulting BS.....we often will try to make an estimate on top of an estimate on top of an estimate until our answer is either so watered down it doesn't help, or just really off.

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.

Pros

Learning opportunities, down-to-earth co-workers, culture, ability to shape your own professional development, externship and transfer opportunities. Results oriented focus adds to the value and fun of the job. Global training and Bain World Cup are some of the best experiences I have ever had.

Cons

Compensation and benefits may not be as good as competitors. Lifestyle varies widely from case to case. Type of work is dependent on the office you are located in.
