Vault’s Verdict

As it has been some years since it last participated in our survey--back then it was praised as a "young, dynamic firm"--it is difficult to know what to make of Bainbridge. The firm is a regular fixture in the lower reaches of our prestige ranking, which hints at a degree of name recognition that many in the industry crave. However, when asked for a comment to sum up their (external) perception of the firm, very few consultants expressed any degree of familiarity--and one of those that did questioned whether the firm was "the vulture capital firm." (Probably not: if we had to guess, we'd say they were probably thinking of Bain Capital.) All told, that tends to suggest that exit opportunities might not be the best.
