Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Baringa Partners full-time
Pros
Baringa currently has a good reputation with clients which means access to blue chip companies.
Cons
The longer I stay at Baringa the more it feels like a cult to me. Where to start? Maybe our semi spiritual leader. Or the way that a team censors stop any critical questions being published during online meetings. Or maybe the fact that most staff seem to be total believers, actually thanking the leadership for imposing paycuts on them. Or the way failure is never ever discussed. It's very weird. If you like the sound of all this then I'm sure you'll be very happy.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Baringa Partners full-time for less than a year
Pros
- Company Benefits are appreciated
Cons
- Very Authoritarian and intolerant management structure. - 30 minute Lunch breaks for an 8 hour day is unacceptable. - Partners/Management/ Directors are demanding, rude and are intolerant of change. - the company likes to boast of all the awards its won but their actions are completely at odds with what they preach, which begs the question on how these awards were won. - do not be sick. It will be used against you when it comes to progression.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Baringa Partners full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Salary is acceptable in the beginning
Cons
Cult like structure - the owner and management are deified and decisions made are treated with reverence regardless of whether they are in the best interests of employees, including unexpected pay cuts. Extremely long working hours. Lunch breaks are discouraged and if we are to take one they are capped at 30 minutes Unfair treatment of anyone who is genuinely struggling with their mental health , as witnessed firsthand. Individuality is frowned upon. Your personality, physical appearance , mannerisms and even facial expressions (even those linked to health reasons ) will be criticised if they do not comply and possibly even used against you. Dictatorial management style. All are expected to adhere to what management dictates. Inflexible work structure .

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Baringa Partners full-time
Pros
3.5 years in, the proposition that I was promised has definitely been fulfilled. Talented individuals, a great environment to work in, a high degree of return authority at all levels.
Cons
The organisation collectively has improved its EQ over the last few years. Where challenges are identified, it’s very thoughtful and open to how these should be resolved. A brilliant environment to make change happen

"True Partnership and a meritocracy"

- Senior Management★★★★★
RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at Baringa Partners full-time
Pros
Close relationship and proximity to partners (low ratio of only 10 employees per partner) If you have an idea – you go for it with support and fair challenge Everyone rolls up their sleeves and gets stuck in whatever their level The brightest people I’ve ever worked with (having spent 8 years prior in Investment Banks) People first – they really care about and look after their people Well rewarded (salary and benefits)
Cons
Expectations are very high and you are expected to drive what you want to do ( with support)– this works for the high achieving bunch I work with but doesn’t suit everyone and it can lead to feeling like you either 'fit' or you don't Balance of client utilisation (100%) with internal commitments can lead to a heavy workload
