  NEWARK, NJ, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
It's just better at Bain -- or so say the firm's employees, who
participated in Consulting magazine's annual Best Firms to Work For
survey.

    "Boutique and niche firms have had such an impact on the industry that we
thought it was time to recognize those firms, as well," says Consulting's
Editor-in-Chief Joseph Kornik. "What's surprising is that the overall
scores for the smaller firms were higher -- so it was actually a harder
list to make."

    Employees were asked questions about everything from retention rates and
morale at their firms to training and vacation policies. Firms on both
lists were ranked on six categories: The Job, Compensation and Benefits,
Work/Life, Leadership, Career Development and Culture, and were ranked
based on a cumulative total from all categories.

    The Best Firms to Work For list includes (in alphabetical order): Alvarez
& Marsal, A.T. Kearney, Bain & Company, Booz & Company, The Boston
Consulting Group, Kurt Salmon Associates, Milliman, Monitor Group, North
Highland and Point B. Meanwhile, The Best Small Firms to Work For list
includes (in alphabetical order): Centric Consulting, Cumberland
Consulting Group, Forsythe, FMI, Infinitive, IntegrityOne Partners,
Katzenbach Partners, MorganFranklin, SEI and Stroud Consulting.

    In all, the survey drew nearly 13,000 responses from 205 firms, the
largest compilation of data from management consulting firms worldwide.
