I have never bought into this narrative of Bain being “the nice guys”, but I am recruiting right now (MBA FT recruitment) and have interviews from all MBB.

Bain introduced me to a partner, a manager and a consultant, the summer consultants are giving sessions/ cases. It seems they just care so much more.
