Pros

I have had great professional development opportunities - challenging work, constant feedback, strong mentors. This first year has been full of varied projects, in different industries and in different sizes/types of companies. My co-workers have been some of the highlights of my year - great friendships with people built around work but extended into our personal lives.

Cons

Bain has a very direct feedback style, which can often throw people off a bit. You need to make sure that you are seeking out mentors and coaching to ensure that you are getting the positive coaching that you need to deal with perhaps tougher feedback. People who don't seek out support when things aren't going well often don't rebound from a bad project.

Pros

There are three reasons why after 18 years, I still love working for Bain. First is the great people - they're collaborative, smart, high enery, supportive and fun! Second is the high impact and results we drive with our clients. Third is the flexible work options - I was promoted to Partner while working part time (and I was not the first nor last to do so).

Cons

Only con is the nature of consulting - travel. That being said, we travel less than our competitors.

Pros

Surrounded and supported by fun and ambitious co-workers, Bain employees create a team that truly wants to helps its clients

Cons

Overall, diversity is lacking within the office (gender, race, academics, etc). Additionally, though it bills itself as the company that 'tell's it like it is' and are 'straight shooters', there is a good deal of opaque and blackbox on-goings and politic-ing behind the scenes.
