Bain & Company Reviews in Australia

Pros

The best aspect of Bain is the people, which make it the the most fun and friendly of the top tier consulting firms to work for

Cons

As with all the top tier firms, Bain is a competitive place and you need to be talented to succeed

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the focus on sustainability - it is possible to be a successful consultant and maintain a good work/life balance

Pros

great personal development processes, including international and local class based training. Bain also allows consulting staff to remain "generalised" until they become quite senior, which means that you are gauranteed exposure to many different industries, capabilities and functions over the course of your career. Bain's private equity practice is much larger than its nearest competitors, which means that you are offered opportunities to work between typical strategic cases and 'Due Diligence' work in the Private Equity group.

Cons

hours can be long, travel can be significant. Also, the regional staffing model means that to some extent you are confined to the industry mix of the office in which you are located

Advice to Senior Management

keep up the good work!
