Reviews about "long hours"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The culture is better than advertised. A lot of room to do what you think is best and grow. For all the cons below, I was incredibly happy in this role and still give it 5 stars. Hopefully they're able to iron out the issues over time.
Cons
It's a start up environment as they're building out the BCN in the US. You can sometimes feel like you're on an island. Poor job adjusting comp as responsibilities can change quickly. This isn't a 9-5, long work hours.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Comp, learning how to do business stuff, people are exceptionally friendly (it's sort of their thing relative to the other two), and unparalleled access to how executive decisions are made
Cons
Hours are long, pressure to provide an answer means sometimes we repackage BS (to be clear, this is a cynic's opinion, 90%+ of the time they really believe they are providing value. Some people just have different epistomologies)
Continue reading - Former Contractor★★★★★
Pros
Very smart environment, the company has a lot of tools to prepare you
Cons
long work hours, few opportunities to shape your experience
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- Environment where you're surrounded by smart people from all over the world and from all kinds of background - Huge variation in the types of work you do, allowing you to constantly learn new things and never get bored - Big mentorship culture that promotes open and honest feedback to allow everyone to reach their max potential - Informal culture where colleagues feel more like friends (I hang out with classmates pretty much every weekend)
Cons
- Hours are long and work can definitely be stressful
- Former Intern★★★★★
Pros
Projects and culture. People are absolutely amazing.
Cons
Hours are long but this is standard for industry.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Approachable Colleagues who Made my life much easier
Cons
Long Working Hours are sometimes tiring
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great place to build a network
Cons
long working hours but better than most
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Love my colleagues, and have learned a ton
Cons
Hours are long and role requires travel, but not as bad as other consulting firms
- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros
Outstanding culture, top notch people, top tier clients
Cons
Perks are not competitive with MCK and BCG. Intense work, hours are long.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Bain truly cares about the people that work there, and about building a supportive community. This ends up being a cycle where people who care about mentorship, community, etc, continue to select Bain over other firms, and the culture gets stronger and stronger. Great place to learn, constantly challenged, good comp.
Cons
A feature of professional services in general, is that the hours are long. Within premium management consulting, I feel Bain Bain leads the pack in sustainability. The company has methods for achieving sustainability for employees, but nonetheless everyone at Bain has a long week here and there.
