Employee - Manager

Strong preference for people who started their careers at the company. "Fraternity" type of culture, where personal preference comes before merit and performance. Lack of transparency in how they deal with people. Staffing does not consider people's expertise, capabilities nor development needs. Lack of industry expertise. Low focus on consultant's development, does not train people to become managers,as it always asks people to perform below their comfort zone, which does not lead to development. Lack of development opportunities. Analyst (and partners) quality of life comes at the expense of the managers quality of life. Partners not commercially aggressive. On the positive side: great trainings, very smart people, very good brand, are impartial when communicating with the client.

Employee - Manager

Strong preference for people who started their careers at the company. "Fraternity" type of culture, where personal preference comes before merit and performance. Not willing to consider doing things any differently. Culture is forced top-down, and goes into "micro-management" (e.g. is it against "culture" to give an Associate Consultant a storyline to do; it is culture to have to go to "case team events" instead of being with your family). Culture is cynical. They will say "a Bainie does not let another Bainie fail" but they practice the opposite. Peers will not help peers, supervisors will let people fail and only tell them after reviews, there is no honest feedback culture in place. People will get back on you if you give them a less positive review. Partners and Managers will find culprits below when things don't go well. No clear reporting - multiple partners are involved in a single case, and all will have an equal say, which drives managers to work like crazy. But they cannot leverage their team members, because if people work too much, they will get bad reviews and partners will punish them (but that does not prevent partners from giving managers absurd ammount of work and not staffing cases appropriately).

Employee - Manager

Great reputation. The company functions very badly outside US and UK, but has a superb reputation.
