We don’t do work directly for the government (in US), but some of our pro bono work is public sector adjacent. If that’s what you want to do full time, Bain is not the place for you.

My understanding is the DC offices does no (or very limited) federal work. However, they do work with non-profits, NGOs, and other similar organizations.
