Grant is a consultant in the Toronto office. He studied at
Queen's School of Business, and after his graduation spent a year
as an assistant brand manager at a large American packaged foods
company. In his short time at Bain, he has worked on cases in the
mortgage and insurance industries.
Joining Bain
"I'm the kind of person who needs to be challenged and pushed every
day--boredom is the enemy. At Bain, you won't be pushing through
miles of red tape, filling out forms, or doing monthly reports.
Every week I come into the office knowing I'll be learning about a
new industry or learning a new skill. Bain is focused on generating
results for clients, so you feel like you're working on something
that will create value. That's tremendously satisfying."
Passionate people
"People at Bain are fun, down-to-earth, and worldly. There isn't a
single person in the office who hasn't traveled overseas, or who
isn't involved in some exciting extracurricular activity. We've got
everything from ultramarathoners to aspiring musicians--it makes
for a great environment."
Work-life balance
"I've been surprised by the work-life balance in the office. Bain
recognizes that its employees are its greatest assets, and wants
them to progress through to higher levels. Burning out employees
just doesn't make good business sense, and that's evidenced by the
high retention levels you see at Bain."
Career management
Grant plans to take full advantage of Bain's tuition and
grad-school application systems: "For me, one of the biggest
attractions to Bain was its willingness to support its staff on the
way to grad school, which has always been a long-term dream of
mine."
