Pros

Decent pay. Generally friendly coworkers.

Cons

Once you make it past a certain level of seniority, there is no regard for your wellbeing. Deliver results for clients or you’re out the door. This company touts a culture of ‘coaching’ and ‘feedback’ but that’s hogwash - they won’t teach you diddly squat, and then they’ll tell you you’re at risk of underperforming when you’re not 100% efficient (even when you’re doing a particular task for the first time). Leadership is mostly old money white male. Zero empathy for anyone who comes from a different background. No work life balance at all. Just work until you make yourself sick.

Pros

Everyone at Bain I’ve met is genuinely smart, friendly, and respectful. It’s like working on a group project where everyone is the person who always does the work in a group project

Cons

Very long hours (55-65) a week. I thought the long hours wouldn’t bother me but it was very exhausting and made me feel sad a lot. It’s also not a great environment for neurodivergent people such as myself, I struggled with the particular social norms (consulting is very image focused, you have to be professional but in a cool fun way all of the time)

Sense of urgency can be extremely stressful and draining; lack of salary transparency for non-consultants; unclear promotion trajectory
