Baringa Partners

Is this your company?

Baringa is cult and not as great as they keep telling you they are - Manager Baringa Partners Employee Review

Pros

Many organised fun socials that people pretend to enjoy, if you’re in to that sort of thing. They welcome all types of people, as long as you’re the same type as them. If you're white and privately educated, you may get on well there.

Cons

Very poor, “yes man” promoting culture. Best leave your personality at the door and copy the shared (lack of) personality of the leadership team. They’re about as people first (as they keep promoting) as North Korea, but somehow they’ve said that line enough that the seemingly brainwashed employees actually believe it. Senior management are constant and relentless in telling you what a great place it is to work, during team meetings, whatsapp groups etc. If they detect someone who is not buying in to the dream they pushing on you, that person will quickly be ousted. They can't have the virus spreading. Baringa is a cult lead by white privately educated men. You could work 12 hour days on project for a year, but the person who lead the “team time” quiz and made PG13 gags about being a consultant ("what work life balance, am I right fellow consultants? Haha") will get promoted ahead of you. It's all about being seen to be buying in to the cult. People constantly going on leave due to burnout, it's almost like a badge of honour at Baringa now.
