Pros
A lot of excellent people and some interesting work. Awesome compensation and benefits.
Cons
Realistic average workload is about a 70 hr week. Projects rarely require innovation but rather a “how well can you copy and paste the last most similar project.” In terms of diversity, Bain ATL struggles. Non-white from another country? “The bar never moves.” Translation, “your days are numbered.” I’ve heard similar sentiments from friends with disabilities. Bain makes a big deal about being the “best place to work,” but I find the culture fairly toxic. If you don’t give it your all and put everything else to the side, what are you even doing here? We’re highly encouraged to regularly rate our experience highly and highly shamed if we rate anything (from cases to managers to the office itself) less than 100%. On the flip side, Bain prides itself on never giving reviews of its employees of 100%. “Everyone has room to improve.” Sometimes this is helpful for your growth but more times than not it feels like a regular beat down, leaving you desperate to please your abusive seniors.
