What’s the culture like at Bain? How does it compare to other MBB?

People are generally super nice, but the culture can feel “fratty” at times. It definitely favors extroverts, and sometimes I feel like my personality is not valued at the firm. I’d say the culture is great if it fits your personality, but it’s definitely not for everybody.

Having been in a frat, I can assure everyone Bain is not that fratty

Definitely wouldn’t say fratty. I’d describe it as fun and supportive. Fun in that there is a lot of emphasis on social events / team fun and having an enjoyable time whilst working. Supportive in that I think we focus on wlb and helping people do what they need to do more than other places.

I’m an introvert and don’t feel like I’m not valued. There are plenty of us here and none of the social aspects above are mandatory. I think the Partner group probably skews introvert
