McKinsey is equal or worse. They've had some very ethically questionable recommendations make headlines quite often

BCGs name is thrown around a lot in media. Bain is right after it. Only hear negative things about McKinsey and personally I would never choose to work there.

Had offers from all three MBB, twice in my career. Chose Bain the first time, and BCG the second time. Very happy. My family member worked for McK. Personally do not align with McK values or brand.

Wow, nice. What were the main cultural differences between Bain and BCG? Guessing a lot of it comes from firm size

Bain is a lot more like family. BCG has a lot more options.

What do you expect in a prestige poll on blind. The answer is already given. Google, McKinsey, Goldman depending on industry no matter what. I've seen people ask about what company to go to and Google polled over a legit company that was offering 80% more TC and a higher level.

It’s Blackrock over Goldman. Goldman lost its brand a while ago

The point is what happens in these blind polls^. Basically what lyft is getting at is Blind polls essentially represent the voice of a typical Chinese mom. Blackrock and Goldman are also not the same. Goldman is an investment bank and is (primarily) sell side while Blackrock is an asset manager and is buy side. I understand that there is GSAM which is essentially the same as blackrock, but people don’t really compare Goldman to Blackrock in these overgeneralized prestige rankings. When you think Goldman it’s more like JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Evercore, etc.
