What's left to be said about Bain & Company's utter dominance on Consulting 's annual Best Firms to Work For survey? For the ninth consecutive year, Bain & Company walked away with the No. 1 ranking. But to fully appreciate the accomplishment, one has to look a little deeper inside the survey numbers.
In 2011, Bain finished tops in five of the six categories the survey measures: Culture, Client Engagement, Firm Leadership, Career Development and Compensation & Benefits. (Last year, Bain finished first in four of the six.) In the only category it didn't win, Work/Life Balance, Bain finished behind three much smaller firms. In fact, those three firms combined wouldn't top the total number of consultants at Bain & Company.
To try to get a better understanding of what makes Bain & Company such a special place to work, Consulting sat down with three Bain executives— Steve Ellis, Worldwide Managing Director; Russ Hagey, Chief Talent Officer; and Paul Meehan, Regional Managing Director, Asia Pacific —to share their insights into how the firm manages to stay on top year after year.
