Why Bain?
"I chose to work for Bain for two main reasons. Firstly, the flexibility with which Bain approaches every individual's career. They create the possibility for everyone to follow their personal development path, which may or may not include an MBA, transfers or experience leaves. This flexibility and focus on the individual as opposed to a 'standard development path' is very valuable to me.
Secondly, and most importantly, I chose Bain for the people that are now my colleagues. Everybody is very passionate and enthusiastic, both inside and outside of the office, which creates a great environment to work in."
My passion at Bain and outside of the office
"My biggest passion outside of the office is my interest in different countries and cultures. I am always busy planning my next trip and aim to visit a new country and experience a new culture every year. I enjoy the challenge of working in intercultural teams, with all cultural challenges that come along, while still achieve extraordinary results. Bain supports my passion by currently having me work on a very international case, in which I facilitate workshops in several countries with people from all over Europe."
My favorite (recent) case
"Over the years I have worked on many cases in very different industries. There is not one specific case that I favor; I especially like the wide variety of activities I do. From drafting a storyline, supporting colleagues I work with in data analysis to slide design, doing client interviews and discussion-sessions with my team. I feel like I have a valuable and important role in all activities."
A final thought
"It is very important that you work with people you like. Therefore I encourage everyone to spend time with Bain at business courses or company dinners, to be convinced of the fit with your future colleagues!"
