Pros

The firm worldwide has a great culture - the people in general are nice, interesting, and fun. There are excellent exit opportunities from any level as the Bain name and consulting skillset is valued in a number of jobs.

Cons

At the end of the day the quality of your experience is very much dictated by which cases you end up working on. If you get stuck on a 6 month case in an industry you don't like or a difficult client, there's not a lot you can do about it. That's true of any consulting job but I think people's experiences vary because of this. If you are unhappy though, Bain is good about making sure your next case meets your needs.

Pros

Bain attracts great people, working in an environment with such people is challenging and very rewarding. Not only bright and brilliant but also people who are fun to hang out with. I believe Bain has been rated the number one place to work for in the management consultancy industry, which is probably largely due to the fact that you enjoy your time working with your colleagues. The quality of the client base and the quality of the projects are of course two other important reasons to join Bain.

Cons

Long and non-flexible hours. As with all consultant work your role is over when it's time for implementation.
