Bain & Company – “Great launching pad”

Pros

Bain is a tremendous launching pad for a career in almost any industry. The leadership have created a meritocratic organization that is wholly focused on delivering results for our clients. The firm seem to be well positioned to handle the economic downturn likely to impact the industry over the next 12-18 months. The firm remains committed to investing in its people and culture.

Cons

Promotion schedules can be a little rigid. Individuals joining the firm with prior consulting experience may have to wait longer than they need to for promotion to the next level. The corporate culture is fairly strong, particularly in offices such as Boston and New York, where Bainees spend a lot of time together outside of the office.

Advice to Senior Management

Management should continue doing what they're doing. They've done a great job.
