Good experience but workforce lacks diversity

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Surrounded and supported by fun and ambitious co-workers, Bain employees create a team that truly wants to helps its clients

Cons

Overall, diversity is lacking within the office (gender, race, academics, etc). Additionally, though it bills itself as the company that 'tell's it like it is' and are 'straight shooters', there is a good deal of opaque and blackbox on-goings and politic-ing behind the scenes.

Life is good at Bain

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have worked at Bain in 3 offices across Europe, Africa & the US. I am exceptionally happy with how it has turned out. My colleagues are hard-working and fun. I have worked in over 20 industries from toothpaste innovation to coal mining. When my wife and I got married, ten of our sixty guests were great friends from Bain. That sums it up for me.

Cons

No denying that the performance bar is high and there's no slacking off!

Fun people, challenging work, and great development opportunities

Consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Despite challenging economic conditions, Bain continues to impress me by demonstrating a commitment to client results through tied economics, investing in professional development at all levels, and promoting a strong firm culture worldwide via activities such as the Bain World Cup.

Cons

Higher performance expectations, increased retention of former ACs, and fewer industry exit opportunities leads to occasional internal competition for limited promotion spots. As the economy rebounds, this will become less of an issue.
