I freaking love working at Bain. Seriously. We work hard to make sure that we have a great culture. The hours are long, sure, but the feel shorter because I genuinely believe that I work with the smartest and most emotionally intelligent people in the world. I've had teammates above and below me offer to help me, and give me time when I need it. "A Bainie Never Lets Another Bainie Fail" is real. I've of course had difficulty managers and difficult cases, but that comes with the industry, but the highs are certainly worth the lows.
Thanks. Great comments. Somehow I do not see that much of diversity at Bain Dallas, as you see at other consulting majors. Am I missing something or is it just for Dallas office.

Pay to win. Places with no work life balance can't be in top 10.
Agree with Bain 1 - have really enjoyed my experience. As to what sets Bain apart from other consulting firms, based on anecdotes from friends I think our staffing model makes a big difference (don’t have to network to join a project so it’s less pressure / cutthroat, home office teams facilitate stronger culture, etc.). It also seems like the smaller size helps - you can sense that people genuinely care for you and will go out of their way to help.
FWIW I've been super impressed by everyone I've met from Bain. Very intelligent people but also grounded and sociable.
Less diverse compared to McK or BCG.
What is the partner / Sm divorce rate ?
Bain is great. People are very smart, capable, and they care immensely about one another. In the hardest phases, I’ve always had someone (or multiple people) I can turn to. I extend the same respect for my team- I want to know how they’re doing and what I can do to help.
I guarantee it’s better than McK
