Bain & Company reviews

Very hierarchical and rigid; must constantly prove your trust even though the work isn't very difficult; difficult to learn generalizable business concepts since you're often working on narrowly scoped projects -- don't even have to really understand the client's business model if you're working on, e.g., org function case

- No open communication (Culture of retalliation) - Ego-culture with army like hierarchy. Lower ranked employees do not have a voice. Aggressive behaviour and raised tone (i.e. shouting) not unusual - Face time culture (~65-85h) even if case doesn't require it - Toxic people management, managers are not trained nor incentivised to deal with people - Potential to grow highly influenced whether you fit in (or sleep with) the right people - Staffing is about knowing the right people -HR has good intentions but no power (questions on confidentiality HR conversations but not proven) - Managers have no clue how to motivate people, burnouts are regular. - Lowest ranked employees payed ~€8/h whereas partners take home millions - Diversity is a joke
