Gone Downhill...such a shame

Senior consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

Awesome coworkers, decently flexible time off

Cons

This company is the epitome of "does not care if you live or die." Ever since we got bought by Bain, everyone is truly just a number and a money maker to this company. Also, we are severely underpaid compared to other firms. Promotions suck here too
