Pros

Bain is truly an amazing firm - the people are some of the brightest, kindest, and most fun I have ever met.

Cons

It can be a bit unforgiving and overwhelming if you aren't a strong performer. But there is lots of coaching to help you "get it".

Pros

Great firm dealing with clients most pressing issues. Strong track record of growth in employees. Manager are by and large very good with feedback.

Cons

In this environment, where you have some downtime between projects, you need to be make sure you rock every second of billable time. Need to be very conscious on what projects you get staffed. Your first case can make or break your career. As much as you would like to think the cream will rise to the top, real life dictates that your actual case experience is a large driver as well.

Pros

Get to work with incredible smart people. Fun culture, rapid learning.

Cons

Horrible work life balance. Expectation is that work will subsume your waking life. Work experience heavily determined by what case you are on - sometimes can be a bit of luck of the draw on what you get staffed on early.
