Who we are

Bain & Company is one of the world’s leading strategy consulting firms, ranked first in Financial Times Best Workplaces in the UK 2006, and Best Firm to Work For by Consulting Magazine 2003–06.

Bain offers the best practical business experience there is: quite simply, our people learn how to make companies more valuable.

What we do

We work with top management teams to tackle their key issues and generate lasting financial impact. We are focused on results and delivering substantial, lasting financial impact to our clients.

Our clients include some of the most successful global companies and private equity firms – historically Bain clients have outperformed the stock market by a ratio of 4:1.

A career at Bain

A Bain career shapes the type of business person you become, teaching you to quickly identify what’s critical and to separate unimportant facts from those that are essential to making the right strategic decisions. In addition, you will learn how to develop and implement practical solutions to drive tangible financial results for your clients.

Bain offers unparalleled flexibility – Associate Consultants (ACs) have the opportunity to transfer to one of our 36 global offices, pursue an MBA, go on externship, work in our Private Equity practice or take a leave of absence.

Your professional development

Throughout your career at Bain we offer excellent training. Your first year starts with two weeks of detailed training in the London office before flying to Cape Cod, Massachusetts for a further two-week global training program, where you will get the chance to work alongside your international colleagues. In addition, you will be assigned a mentor to help guide you through your career as well as ongoing coaching, both informal and formal, from senior case members and peer group sessions to ensure that you continually develop your skills.

Bain is a meritocracy – there is no fixed career path or length of time that a person should stay at a particular level. Your progression is driven purely by your performance, not by your tenure. Although sponsorship is available to attend the world’s top business schools, there is no requirement to study for an MBA, and many people have been promoted through to Partner without one.

What we look for

Bain people are dynamic, entrepreneurial and thrive on early responsibility. We look for exceptional graduates and post-graduates from any degree discipline who demonstrate strong analytical and communication skills, initiative, leadership and teamwork.
