To all the consultants out there...

[Terrabon98]

I'm beginning the search for summer internships at various management consulting firms around the country. I am primarily interested in the big companies, such as Bain, McKinsey, BCG, etc., but this is mostly due to the fact that they oversaturate themselves at the business school that I attend, and so that's all I really know.

Now I have started to read up on some of these companies and talked to a couple people that have worked for them, but I'd like to hear from any of you consultants out there about your own experience with your company. It's not really possible to get an idea of what working at a company is like from the douchebags that they send to our schools, so I'm having a hard time grasping the difference between the various companies.

Any input/advice/suggestions/thoughts that any of you guys have would be greatly appreciated, either about what it's like working at a specific company, or in the consulting world in general.
