Management consultancy Bain & Company has been named Glassdoor’s best place to work in the UK in 2023.
The company achieved an overall rating of 4.7 out of 5 on the employee feedback platform, based on anonymous reviews from employees about their job, work environment and the organisation over the past year.
Employees praised Bain & Company for its organisational culture, learning opportunities and career development. One comment that attracted Glassdoor’s attention says: “I love getting to work with diverse teams and feel truly supported in my career growth”.
James Hadley, Bain & Company’s UK managing partner, said the organisation was “thrilled” to have been recognised.
“Over the last year, we’ve achieved further strong growth in our UK business while continuing to evolve how our people work and collaborate. This ranking is a testament to the success of those efforts – but especially to our unique culture, and the commitment to each other, that our extraordinary employees make possible,” he said.
“I’m inspired every day by our teams in the UK and what they achieve. And I’m looking forward to continuing to work with all our people to make Bain not just a great place to work, but one that keeps aiming to be even better.”
Also scoring highly on the best places to work list were software company ServiceNow – which took the top spot last year –management consultancy Boston Consulting Group, and data centre and cloud computing provider Equinix, all of which also scored an average of 4.7.

Common themes in the employee reviews of companies that scored highly include work-life balance, a great culture, pay and benefits, strong leadership and senior management, and learning and development opportunities.
Glassdoor chief executive Christian Sutherland-Wong said: “The past year brought extreme highs and lows for job seekers and employees, but despite an increasingly uncertain job market, Glassdoor data shows there are still companies hyper-focused on creating outstanding employee experiences.
“It’s encouraging to see companies doubling down on employee mental health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, competitive benefits and flexible work environments as we head into 2023.”
