Employee Reviews
- “Bain has by far the best culture of McK, Boston Consulting Group and Bain. However, staffing opportunities are better with the other two.”
- “Hard work at a great organisation with great people.”
- “If you're looking at enjoying your time while cracking the world's toughest questions, Bain & Company is the right firm. I am incredibly grateful for the great mentoring and leadership here and know that I can count on my colleagues 100%, always. This spirit and the quality of work we deliver makes Bain & Company truly unique - I could not imagine switching to any other consulting firm.”
- “Our commitment to doing what is right for clients, beyond just financial value (also incorporating environment, social and governance factors).”
- “The natural approach to help someone out is deeply rooted in the firm. It doesn't matter if you are an intern writing to a partner, you will usually get quick and helpful response. For example, I once wrote a question to our Singapore office (as I had no clue about some market dynamics there) and received 5 responses within 30 minutes.”
