SURVEY SAYS


Meet the Bainies


The motto among Bain employees, according to a Chicago consultant, is: “A Bainie never lets another Bainie fail.”  That is to say, the firm’s “extraordinarily supportive culture” is heavily “team-oriented,” but “with a relentless focus on delivering value to our clients,” a partner explains.  The firm “celebrates pragmatism and results, [but] knows the importance of having fun,” another executive-level insider notes.  “We have something very special here,” reports a senior source.  “Every year, as I am exposed to more clients and organizations, I am a little more grateful for the Bain culture.”

Tips from the inside

Incredibly competitive


Those who call themselves “Bainies” do so with a certain sense of pride: The recruitment process selects only the best of the best from the world’s top undergraduate, MBA, PhD, JD and MD programs, staffers say.  “The hiring process is incredibly competitive.  Typically, there is less than one slot for every 100 resumes received,” explains one source.  “Having said that, there are no strict cutoffs or specific work experiences required.  If you do very well in the case-based interviews, you will be seriously considered.”
