      Bain & Company is the best place to start your career.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Bain best place to start career out of college

      Associate consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people and pedigree. People at Bain are very intelligent and fun. The name on the resume will also take you far in recruiting for your next job.

      Cons

      The compensation. Out of college, most people who get job offers at Bain also get offers at top-tier investment banks as analysts. The exit opps out of both of these places is near identical. The downside of Bain is lower compensation in terms of bonus (particularly in an up-market); but the trade-off is the work at Bain is far more intellectually stimulating and I would argue you're better suited for business in your next job. Caveat: If you factor in their b-school package over the number of years, the compensation actually is the same as a banking base + bonus over the years. Not everyone wants to goto b-school right away, though.

      overall a great place to work and develop coming out of undergrad

      Associate consultant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      (from an associate consultant perspective) -great professional development opportunities, you will definitely be pushed and challenged -steep learning curve, you won't have time to get too bored of any topic or industry -exposure to a variety of industries and business problems -plenty of opportunities to develop close relationships with colleagues

      Cons

      (still from an associate consultant perspective) -has gotten more hierarchical over the past few years -culture has disintegrated, not a place to go if you're looking for the "fratty" culture -lack of control over what cases you get staffed to -lots of variability around which consultants, managers, and partners you get staffed with -- some you may end up getting along with great, and others may be awful to work with
