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

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      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.

      Work here for the Brand Name...and then get out to get paid.

      Associate consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Great company to work for

      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.
