"I rejoined Bain this spring, after a 9-year hiatus in finance and philanthropy. While Bain was always committed to women, I am impressed by the breadth and depth of the new programs and initiatives underway, and the focus on gender diversity as a key strategic imperative, driven by our firm's most senior executives."

"Bain has been incredibly flexible in helping me to create a custom career path tailored to my interests and personal priorities. I first left Bain to try the client side of business. Bain helped me find a great position and welcomed me back when I realized that consulting was what I really loved. Later, when I had kids, Bain worked with me to create the right combination of 'leave of absence' and 'part-time' to balance a demanding career with my desire to spend a lot of time with my young children."

"I am very passionate about women succeeding and staying in business, and I think Bain is incredible about supporting that mission. We have massive global women's initiatives for recruiting and retaining females."

"From day one, I felt supported. Part of this was finding mentors who believed in me and guided me through the highs and lows of consulting life and the unparalleled professional development program that provided ongoing feedback and coaching."

"Bain has offered tremendous variety in learning experiences, allowing me to stretch and grow. From working in our Paris office with international clients, to taking a leave of absence to assist the senior team of a major spa chain, to running a small side business in interior design, Bain's reputation for superior professional development has rung true again and again."

"Being a woman, I definitely feel included at Bain. The company actively supports Women at Bain and provides a budget for each office to help foster connectivity between consulting and administrative women. All of these events have helped me build my network of female colleagues and have created another forum to share my ideas and to seek feedback."

"I'm passionate about Bain Cares. Specifically, I've helped start the Bain Dallas office of Inspire this year. Inspire is a non-profit consulting organization comprised of volunteer associate consultants from 4 consulting firms, including Bain. It's been a great opportunity to give back to the local community using the skills I've learned at Bain. It's been amazing to see the impact we can have."
