There are definitely some good things about Bain but they are hard to recall as they are not significant. Apart from salary/perks and people in your team, nothing else comes to mind.

Dislikes

There are many, but most critical ones are: - Lackluster leaders (Senior Managers and above) who have poor people management skills and some of them know very little about their subject matter and don't even try to learn. Ofcourse there are exceptions! - Work culture is a big issue. Company masquerades as a progressive firm with employee friendly policies but policy implementation is poor. WFH requests are allowed but frowned upon. Leaders preach about DEI sensitivity but don't practice it themselves. People are judged based on their looks (at least in my ex-team). No sense of personal space - supervisors can call you at night and on weekends to discuss the most trivial things. You will have to stretch a lot and it can become taxing after a while. HR is aware of most of the issues but does not have guts to confront leaders (who think they own the company). Interns were treated with utmost disregard by the HR (with no clear communication on their PPO or lack thereof). Quality of work is not as good as people think. And this is true for most consulting firms. All of them are peddling the insights which they don't know fully about and frankly don't even care to do a great job of it. Partners can completely throw a wrench in your work plan and case teams are only worried about cost of the project (which is fine but it should not come at the cost of quality). Overall consulting work is a big sham which most insiders know!...Read More
