I love Bain environment
|
|
They have the best working environment I have ever seen, the caring for employees is exceeding the acceptance level. I mean above the standards
|
As short time experiences, I don’t have much comments on the cons of the company.

Abusive and Unproductive Work Environment
|
|
- Great benefits and compensation overall
- Specialized teams
- Once in a while office event
- Affinity groups try to do more things here than at any other place I've worked at in the past
|
- Consistent poor planning from Leadership Team and business
- Poor alignment and communication among departments and between stakeholders
- Extremely toxic environments where people are so stressed and confused in so much chaos at times that they recur to throw others under the bus and make no hesitation when it comes to complaining about every little thing while bringing down others along the way with them
- Very little to no recognition for all the efforts made including constantly approving exceptions that mean rushing for our teams and dropping everything, and for extremely demanding work done despite on time delivery and high quality work delivered consistently
- Lack of clear expectations from day one (and you would still be responsible and at fault for this)
- Lack of role clarity from day one and only gets worse (and you would still be responsible and at fault for this, and affected in your performance reviews despite not being your fault.)
- People will take things away from you that you own and then use it against you as not taking enough ownership or prioritizing properly - people will overstep your role and act as your manager when they are not.
- Hiring freeze now for 2+ years, teams constantly overwhelmed and stretched out. Compensation merit increases being severely affected by firm performance despite having double digit profit % increases over the year. Completely reckless and inconsiderate from management.
Be warned, this is a very intense job but for all the wrong reasons, and can be miserable at times with very long hours as you navigate all the noise and chaos coming from all directions. My recommendation if you still want to try out Bain as a company is to perhaps look at other areas outside of Technology Solutions Group (TSG) but in the end, the issue seems more widespread than our teams / department in some of the concerning areas as stakeholders are already in another department and they are actually the main perpetrators of our most miserable days at work.

I was really excited to work at Bain when I first made the decision to join and as I got started, but sadly, I can no longer say that or recommend it to others. It is a work environment that allows team members to be constantly exploited, demoralized, and Leadership Team members have absolutely no consideration or respect for any of the work being done and for the people behind it - there is nothing human about this work environment. In fact, after spending months working on something, engaging stakeholders along the way, following their constantly changing requirements word for word, and even providing recommendations and constantly going above and beyond with exceptions carried last minute and all, nothing is ever enough, nothing is appreciated, and on top of that we are demoralized constantly when we hear things like "just scrap all of it", "we might as well just put a big black X on all of it." This is just because they don't like to hear something that is just not technically feasible. Overall, a complete nightmare and it is very disheartening.
They tell us to drop things constantly to attend to all their immediate needs that are a result of poor planning. Direct management does not provide the necessary support to stop or minimize any of this - they just let others abuse and take advantage of our teams constantly.
How are you the "best place to work" year over year? I have no idea, just plain questionable.
