I worked at Bain for ~4 years before switching to McK after B-School. I’m in my second year at McK, so feel qualified to talk about the differences. Bain felt like working for the underdog- you are in the trenches, trying to prove yourself against bigger and more equipped competitors. You work twice as hard to get the same results that you would get at a bigger firm with more resources. Since bainies are in the trenches, they develop a sense of camaraderie which is also supported by the firm. Work hard play hard is a phrase that is used often. Bain also uses its culture to differentiating itself on campus, because it is hard for them to compete purely based on the quality of work alone. Bain rarely gets first pick when it comes to lucrative engagements. The quality of projects is significantly poorer at Bain. McKinsey on the other hand feels like a bigger firm, where people have a life outside the firm. The connection was far stronger at Bain, however this might just be because I am older and still only in my second year here. Competition feels stronger at McKinsey because it seems to have slightly sharper people (but not a lot sharper) and the review process is more prone to bias compared to Bain (Bain reviews are written by managers, mckinsey reviews depend on perceptions of senior partners more than managers). Mckinsey is lightyears ahead of Bain when it comes to investment in internal expertise, Client network, alumni network and exit opportunities. TLDR : if you ever get a chance to switch to a more equipped firm- do it.
Duh, you never forget the D
Maybe it’s just me being tired after a long day at work but that just totally confused me 😅 Joke away
But on a slightly more serious note, do please share your honest feedback too. I’ve always believed smart people are smart people anywhere, no matter the company they work for, so it’s interesting to see people get so emotional/ territorial/ downright defensive and mean about their companies vs others, as though it defines who you are as a person or your value
Miss my ACN days in a wistful sort of way for the work life balance but love the challenge here
I interned at D - both awesome firms, but I find that Deloitte puts more emphasis on polish while mck is about (lots of!) insight and content
I worked at EY before Bain. I like Bain.
I mean... BCG has pretty defined offerings at its core... strategy, cost takeout, org, due diligence, PMI across industries... and we'll do the odd really sexy case like Amazon HQ2 strat for a region, or Bill and Melinda Gates work, Save the Children, etc and that can be more tailored...
C'mon OP, learn to take a joke
Accenture, Cognizant, IBM, and now North Highland.
Accenture - Bad experience, horrible manager. Good brand on resume.
Cognizant - Good people, low pay.
IBM - Eject, eject, eject!
North Highland - Good people, good pay.
Wow, very insightful - thanks McK3
I've worked at Deloitte, EY, and now sticking with ZS. I like that it's smaller and different policies about "treating people right" for example, our analysts aren't penalized by low utilization where people have to worry about getting laid off after a couple weeks on the bench. Generally pretty good work life balance and less travel than traditional consultants. Cons are as a smaller firm, don't have the same benefits like your fitness credits etc.
Worked at D, a boutique, and now EY. Prefer where I am now
What do you mean? Is that “you”? 😶
BCG1, what do you mean by "org"? Org/Op model design?
ACN
Is that you?
What about Deloitte McK1? And you find it better than McK?
So you find BCG does more interesting and challenging work then? What kind of work do you do at BCG, if you don’t mind sharing?
Please elaborate BCG1
