Bain & Company

Company overview

Bain & Company is a global management consulting firm that advises organisations on strategy, performance improvement, digital transformation, and private equity-related work. Bain & Company serves a mix of public companies, private businesses, and investors across many industries. Work is typically delivered in small teams on time-bound client problems, with a heavy emphasis on structured problem-solving and communication. Early-career hiring is concentrated in the Associate Consultant track and the Associate Consultant Internship, with additional short exploratory programs for students.

Locations and presence

Bain & Company operates across 67 cities in 40 countries through a global office network. Bain & Company consulting roles vary by office and client needs, but early-career consultants should expect regular in-person team time (office and sometimes client-site) rather than fully remote work as the default.

Palpable Score

76.5

/ 100

Bain & Company gives early-career candidates multiple credible ways in, including a flagship internship-to-full-time pathway and several shorter exploratory programs that help students learn the job before recruiting. Bain & Company scores well on hiring clarity and support, but the score is capped because Bain & Company does not publish cohort outcomes like internship conversion rates, promotion timing, or early-tenure retention.
