As a functional professional (ie not client facing) the work life balance and flexibility and benefits are great.
Slow: I have never come across a more risk averse and slow moving organization; making a relatively minor decisions (eg hiring plan for a single practice) requires 100s of slides with analysis, dozens of pre-wire conversations, and consensus across several large committees. To add to that, everyone at SM or above has an EA, which slows down simple things like scheduling meetings enormously — forget dropping a calendar invite based on seeing other folks schedules, and lean into 10+emails back and forth to figure out when everyone can match (don’t worry, it will be at least 3 weeks from now) Political: There is basically no top down decision making at Bain; everything requires consensus which means that the people who are successful in professional functions are those that can navigate politics, not the ones that can get anything done. Overall, Bain is very clearly an org that has (rightly) prioritized its client facing teams in its operating model, culture, and rewards. If you are in a global function (ie not client facing) though, you feel superfluous to the mission, much lower priority, and I think you lose what makes Bain a good place to work. That’s ok for a while given good pay and work life balance, but it is not very rewarding and has been a very frustrating experience for me.
I came across this post on r/consulting where someone mentioned how Bain handled Meta’s restructuring. Partners at Bain seem to have taken their best interests while making decisions. From what I have seen, it is generally the case when tech firms hire consulting firms. Why does this still happen if...Read more
Rumor floating around that Bain is helping consult on Meta layoffs. Can anyone confirm? #bain #meta
How strong brand of Mckinsey is compared to BCG or Bain?
Am I the only one finding more than strange that all big tech are using Bain to organize their layoffs and seems to have the exact same playbook?
Hi All - a buddy of mine is expecting to get an offer from Bain for a senior product manager role. Curious what TC (and breakdown) he should expect to be offered.
I've heard that these firms go to top campuses throughout the world to market themselves as an awesome place to work. But they only hire 1-2 good-looking people from a majority of those campuses. However, they make everyone prepare for their cases etc, for them to leave an impression on young folks....Read more

How is it like working at Bain as a software engineer for the ADAPT team? I’ve read that working for MBB and not being a consultant is akin to being a second class citizen—is that true? 4yoe
Does anyone have information on the total compensation for Senior Associate Data Scientist at Bain post-PhD + 1 YOE as Data Scientist? #Bain #DataScience

Anyone know if Bain is bringing their employees back into the office yet? Mostly asking for non-consulting track (they have a number of product teams based out of Boston) but interested in any general updates. TIA

Hi all, Spent about 5 years now in tech & data strategy at a T2 firm and hoping to transition to MBB.
