FLEXIBLE WORK MODELS

What does it look like, the future of working life at Bain? With our modern work concept Work@BAIN 2.x, new ways of working together will officially continue to exist even after the pandemic. Bainies benefit from individual working models and even closer cooperation as a team - whether on site or in virtual space. We combine the advantages of the office and personal meetings with the possibilities of mobile and virtual work for maximum creative freedom. You decide what works best for your situation – just like Lily, a consultant at the Munich office. 

At project kick-off, we jointly decide on a work approach that suits everybody on the team.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

You want to pursue a topic close to your heart, go back to university, or simply spend more time on personal interests? We offer a range of leave options.

  • Get your MBA or PhD from a renowned (international) university.
  • Collect new impressions on the Experience Track: Colleagues decided, for example, to work as an assistant teacher in Nepal, worked for a marine protection NGO in the Maldives or used the time for language or sports courses all over the world.
  • Choose our Fast Track to boost your career.
  • What’s more, you can take an extra two months’ leave of absence – in addition to your regular leave – to travel, spend time with your family, or serve on a charity project.

Deciding for or against pursuing a PhD degree directly after the master's degree? Not that simple. This is why our consultants can take a two-year time out doing the so called PhD leave. In the Studydrive podcast, consultant Ilias talks about the advantages and his personal reasons for deciding to take this opportunity. Sounds interesting? Here, you can listen to the podcast!

BAINFLEX

Be it for family, personal or career reasons - with our BainFlex program you can create the long-term freedom you need. Our Bainies Veronika and Mareike show insights here how this can look like.

  • At Bain, part-time models are possible any time, and will be adapted to your specific needs.
  • Should you want a break from client projects, we’ll find an internal role you can fill, even for an extended time period.
  • We specifically support parents in finding the right balance for themselves, balancing their consulting careers with family life. With paid family leave in excess of statutory entitlement, you’ll enjoy even better financial support and more precious time with your newest family member.
  • Generally speaking, our project-based business offers a huge advantage compared to other jobs: After taking a leave, you can pick up right where you left off.

STAFFING

You usually start at Bain as a generalist. In this way, you will acquire a wide range of basic knowledge from various industries in a very short time. Of course, we always try to include your personal interests and passions in the staffing and to take individual wishes into account when selecting a project. As your seniority level increases, you also have the opportunity to specialize further. There are also various options for gaining international experience: A large part of our projects involves stays abroad or international teams. Temporary office transfers are also possible.
