      Lags peers in caring for its international (non-US) employees

      Pros

      You get to work together with the smartest people around. Your managers will care about your development and will support you in whatever you hope to achieve.

      Cons

      They hire non-US citizens out of undergrad or MBA but their sponsorship policy is the worst when compared to McKinsey/BCG or do largest banks they compete with most of the time. Bain only applies for H1B visa once, and if you don't get it they will not re-apply, while most other consulting firms will offer to re-apply. Bain's policy is to send you to an office abroad (you have no choice in selecting it, it's rather selected on demand) and then you are brought back on L1 which ties you to the company for as long as you stay in the country. This means that if you don't get promoted or want to leave, you need to leave the US. Although they could apply for H1B which gives you the optionality to work at other companies in the future in the US, they won't do it. This means that as an international you are not allowed to use opportunities such as externships that your other peers are able to do.

      Bain & Company Response

      As we’ve done in the past, and plan to be in the future, we do all we can to support our employees as they navigate a very anxious time in their careers. If we cannot get them a visa for the office that extended the offer, which is where we both want them to be, we do all we can to get a great outcome. While each situation is different, the belief that employees have no input into their destination is inaccurate. Furthermore, the diversity of national origin in all of our offices, especially those in the US, is proof that we work hard to get great outcomes. In fact, over 20% of our US consulting staff has citizenship in another country. –- Keith B, Partner, Global head of consultant recruiting

      Pros

      Bain has a strong meritocratic culture. People are encouraged to spread their wings and pursue their ideas. The pay and benefits are fantastic. And people are generally very nice. It's a collegial atmosphere.

      Cons

      The hours can be long. The more good ideas you come up with, the more you work.
