Bainbridge, Inc.

I started as an intern in my senior year, and had a good manager who was a few years into the role. My internship was only three months but I stayed on for several months and then converted to full time.  Most internships were 3 months but the top people are vetted and get solid offers and positions with a lot of responsibility I wasn’t offered at two leading big name firms.  After a year here I was close to junior manager on projects and was ahead of my two friends in bonus pipeline at GS and Merrill. This company doesn’t work you like Goldman and actually the benefits and exposure to clients was better than what my friends experience were.  I had a 6 figure package about 18 months into the job and closed the first of a few major projects. Overall the best managers are the people who train and mentor, but the deal closer managers will make you more bonuses.  You can’t decide who’s your manager.  The top leadership aren’t in the daily grind, but they always were checking in with me during my ramp up and implemented a few of the suggestions I had had for training, recruiting and systems improvement. You can all the CEO or directors or HR anytime.  The company gave unlimited PTO, full benefits, and a few dozen new people all seemed really in it.   The interns have been a mixed bag of engaged or disengaged, because the office was shut during the pandemic and there wasn’t enough face time. I guess two interns and they did well. 

I have worked for Bainbridge for a number of years, and I have regretted every single second of working here. This company has shown me multiple times that it doesn't care about its employees at all.

I often had to deal with a lot of awful personalities, such as hostile managers who refuse to show any respect to employees, delusional executives who prioritize their desires above everything else, senior employees who act like bullies, supervisors who keep abusing their power, etc.

My work-life balance was always unhealthy because of how unreasonable the expectations here are. I always had to keep up with unrealistic deadlines and outrageous demands, all while trying to make absolutely zero mistakes, because if I made any, I would be criticized and humiliated in front of all my colleagues by one of the managers.

Working here long-term is a waste of time because of how biased the leadership is. A lot of employees, including myself have had their efforts and contributions, dismissed and have gone unrewarded for them, while a few untalented people have been handed everything on a silver platter simply because of who they know.

Overall. working for Bainbridge has been a complete nightmare. There wasn't a day that I didn't feel stressed, burnt out, or frustrated. If I had the chance to start over, I'd definitely take it to avoid ever going near this company in the first place.

Overall it has been extremely gratifying, as it has allowed me to align my personal and professional ambitions effectively. This synergy is a key strength, though it’s important to acknowledge that balancing personal and professional goals can sometimes present challenges, requiring adaptability and ongoing support. The organization's practical and empowering approach to helping staff members reach their career goals is commendable. The extensive benefits package and focus on creative and cooperative work methods demonstrate its commitment to employee growth.The supportive nature of my colleagues is indicative of the company's nurturing culture, making it an excellent place for personal and professional development, yet maintaining this supportive atmosphere requires constant effort and open communication.

Bainbridge is not a traditional business advisory firm. That is a plus, in my opinion, because traditional firms will soon have to adapt or go away due to changes involving artificial intelligence (AI). 

If you want clients to take your advice, you need to prove your assertions are sound—which brings me back to AI.

Bainbridge is untraditional in this respect, because it is ahead of the competition, considerably so (again, in my opinion); because the firm uses proprietary AI to better analyze and apply information, which requires its workers (myself included) to at least be conversant in this “language,” so to speak; because the firm emphasizes the intelligent interpretation of intelligence; because your credibility depends on your ability to substantiate what you say.

There is no guesswork at Bainbridge. 

There is work aplenty, but it has nothing to do with guessing your way to the right answer.

While I was there I was in healthcare consulting and we had the best team.  The structure was good, the clients and projects were tough. I learned a lot. By the time I left the managers were changed due to covid. The company closed its office before any other companies and we worked better remotely than we expected. We were already tech focused. The company used to hire fast and push up or out.  My biggest challenge at first was working with some people  who probably didn’t want to be in advisory and consulting and took the job for the money or prestige.  They were weeded out. The first year I was there I saw recruiting improve and get better. The team issues went away when they promoted out people who weren’t in the league. Managers were all really good when I left after a turn around I saw started in 2019 when the partner came back in and started a new strategy. They are doing more than they show online. Their website is terrible.  Their PR is intentionally quiet. I worked with the biggest names.  

I joined Bainbridge with high hopes, enticed by the prospect of a dynamic work environment and the promises made during the hiring process. However, my time at this company turned out to be a deeply disappointing experience! One of the most glaring issues I encountered was the toxic atmosphere that permeated the entire office. It quickly became apparent that the leadership, particularly the owner, lacked the ability to foster a healthy and supportive work environment. Instead of encouraging collaboration and innovation, ideas were often met with skepticism and were promptly dismissed without proper consideration. Constructive criticism was disregarded, leaving employees feeling undervalued and unmotivated. Promises made during the hiring process turned out to be nothing more than empty words. 

I work on very intriguing projects, challenging, for top companies. I started this job after three other jobs with big companies, and I will always work at a boutique company like this in the future. The new managing director is solid, brought out the best in everyone, a wonderful person to work with. Reality, it is tough to make it past the first 90 day trial process for some people, by design. Those who make it, are the top professionals in my opinion. Bring a sense of humor and openness to irony and word sparring, because the people here, from the interns to the partners are SMART.  The one partner who works on site is the only one at the office, i learned a ton with him, will help everyone's professional career paths if you ask him. Some new initiatives he has shown launching later that are ground breaking. I learn more in one project in few months than my friends at Deloitte learn in 2 years. I get to lead and innovate, that's the best part of my job.

My experience while working in this company has been a rewarding journey, with a blend of professional growth and a supportive management team. The company's understanding and supportive approach has deeply resonated with me, providing the motivation and drive to excel in my role. The management's focus on structured training and opportunities for skill enhancement has played a crucial role in my professional development, laying a strong foundation for career advancement. There is a professional culture, where respect and dignity are not mere words but are actively embodied in daily interactions. This culture has fostered an efficient and effective work environment that seamlessly blends professionalism with a personal touch.

My experience at the company has been notably enriching, emphasizing both personal and professional growth. This ethos has been instrumental in shaping my career trajectory and instilling confidence in my future prospects. The camaraderie and cooperative spirit I've witnessed among my coworkers are a true reflection of the company's nurturing culture. The work environment has been designed to support both personal and professional aspirations, ensuring that everyone has ample opportunities and resources to excel in their roles. The company genuinely strives to guide individuals towards their professional goals, ensuring that their aspirations are not just dreams but attainable objectives.

As we all know, a good benefits package makes all the difference, and that’s the case here. From financial security to personal well-being, the company takes care of it all. Highlights include a 401K program with retention-based matching, Basic Personal Accident Insurance, a 529 College Savings Plan, and more! We have flexible work options, including paid time off and work-from-home opportunities. On top of that, the company promotes a healthy work-life balance and professional development through the amazing online training they offer. And, if that wasn’t enough, you also get healthcare coverage, dental, and vision plans. Every step of the way, you’ll feel valued and supported here.
