Long hours and little reward - Portfolio Operations Associate Bain Capital Employee Review

Pros

There are a lot of really driven and hard working people. Perks include: free breakfast, onsite gym, and an annual service day.

Cons

The hours are unreasonable for the pay. Expect to work until 10 or 11 pm the first three weeks of every quarter and the first three business days of the month. You have to work on 4th of July, New Year's day, and other holidays. That is not an option, its an expectation. Long hours and hard work do not get rewarded, rather management chooses to promote their favorites. Management treats the operations team like sheep not people. Work life balance is not respected whatsoever. This obviously varies team by team so do your homework.

Pros

Big Company with lots of perks, They have a gym, they have a good cafe and an in house barista.

Cons

Know this going in: you are expendable, and loyalty here runs one way. Your job can be gone for any reason, at any time — stellar reviews won't save you. All it takes is some office-politics nonsense and suddenly you're out, no job, no benefits. They will also work you into the ground. On call 24/7. And do not kid yourself — HR is not your friend. They make plenty of promises they never keep, and they'll smile at you while they get ready to cut you loose. Bottom line: squirrel away your money and build a cushion, because they will throw you away the moment it suits them.
