Pros

Great opportunities for the intellectually curious! Really great people to work with and depending on the office a great work environment. Lots of exit opportunities

Cons

Recruiting, hiring, staffing, ratings and promotions are all very subjective and ripe with unconscious bias and other systemic issues-- leading to a very white male partner team. They're working on it but slowly and quite frankly clearly aren't invested from a race and socioeconomic standpoint.

Bain & Company Response

Thank you for writing a review. I’m glad to know you are experiencing a positive work environment and supportive colleagues. Diversity & inclusion continues to be a high priority for our firm, and we are deeply invested in addressing this in a number of ways, including identifying and mitigating bias in our key processes (recruiting, performance assessment, and promotions), embedding inclusive behaviors and norms at the firm, office and team level (including open dialogues around race), and investing specifically in closing our gap in under-represented populations (including via our formal affinity groups). Our firm leadership feels highly accountable for increasing the diversity of our team, particularly among our senior roles. Please feel free to reach out to me or to your local diversity champion to learn more.

Pros

Great people in your class Investment in social comraderie/community

Cons

Very political - if people don't like you they will try to destroy your reputation and career at Bain - and they have the power to do so No real work life balance No culture of real push back - people succeed by being the "yes-man"

Pros

In addition to having some of the brightest minds on the planet and being able to work on the most impactful issues for corporations, Bain has an unreplicable culture that is supportive, truthful, meritocratic, and just plain fun. All Bainies live and breathe this culture.

Cons

You will meet some massively challenging business problems. The challenges will become tougher.
