looking for insights into the Bain London office::- working hours?- current utilization levels (I heard they're sold out?)- exposure to versatile projects as senior associate/consultant level?- recruiting proces: which types of cases are given?Thanks,

anyone?

I'll do it for you... looks nice, nice foyer, hey a sign which says 'Bain & Company', handy..Oh hang on, here come security..Unhand me ruffian!!

cheers Prince. Hope they let you go after a while!Seriously, there must be someone on this board with updated comments to my questions? (have checked earlier threads but most seem to be a bit outdated and not so London office specific)

- ~65/wk; some cases on ~100/wk (or higher); PE generally 75+; - Yes; utilization apparently higher than first six months of 2007- Define versatile or what you're really after- All sorts

As a relatively junior consultant (3 years experience) is it true to say that I would get less exposure to clients (presenting final deliverables, working with clients to develop deliverables...etc) than I would at a big 4/tier 2? Thanks

Yes. On the plus side once you prove yourself this ceases to be an issue - you will get full exposure. On the minus side if you find it difficult at first you will probably not be given the right opportunities to develop, will develop slower than your peers and ultimately end up leaving (probably thinking it was your own fault...)

Versatile: working on projects that are different in nature i.e. operational improvement/cost cutting, market strategy, due diligence work, target screening work, organisation/governance structure, sales effectiveness. And is it expected that you get exposure to as much as possible or do they tend to staff you on projects that are similar in nature?
