Bainbridge Reviews

Pros

Autonomy.
Fast-paced.
Satisfactory compensation.
Employees from various background.

Cons

High turnover rate.
Vague information in terms of opportunities and promotions.
The company is so lean that no formal training will be provided.
Majority of consultancy work are done by cold-calling competitors and trying to pry information from them.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay attention to your employees' capabilities and work ethics instead of which school they graduated from.

Pros

Good start if you are new to the consulting business.
You will learn a lot about many different industries during projects.

Cons

Not much grow opportunity unless you come in with an MBS.
Praise and promotions come from 1-2 decision makers, so pleasing them is at the top of the list.

Advice to Senior Management

Business Analysts are as much as the team as Senior Analysts and Principals.
So stop treating them like doggie doo doo.

Pros

If you're good at networking and using your resources, Bainbridge could be a great place for opening up opportunities elsewhere or within the company.

Cons

Despite the small size, it's easy to scoot by unnoticed. Turnover is very high, and it may not be as sexy as some larger firms.

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on retaining talent

Pros

I only interned here, but for the most part it was a great hands-on learning experience. Plenty of access to consultants and clients, multiple projects, and many opportunities to grow skills. Very little formal training though.

Cons

Project information flows pretty well internally, but anything company or HR related was never really communicated very well.
