On the surface, McKinsey continued to dominate the Life and Work benchmarks, posting the best averages among the MBB in 11 categories. However, 2020 could be considered a down year for McKinsey, which had notched the highest scores in all but three categories in 2019. That left Bain to snap up bragging rights in Firm Leadership, Formal Training, and Travel Requirements, while BCG toppled McKinsey in Benefits, Compensation, Business Outlook, and Promotion Policy.
