Working experience at Bain:

“We have a lot of time everyday dedicated to critical thinking — just trying to uncover insights with and for the client and working with our team to build the best answer for them. There’s a really strong sense of culture and I think, just overall, the aspect of having a connection with the office and being encouraged to pursue interests socially and professionally is great. It’s a really nice balance that makes the job meaningful for us.”
