I worked at a company that Bain bought and improved in many ways. They don't gut and run every company into the ground. Probably just the ones where that's the best upside they can work out of it.

That feels like there's room for a deep dive, considering they've developed such a reputation for doing it. * Are their success stories quiet and their failures heavily publicised? * Are they not as creative/clever at strategy as they could be, resulting in them exhausting options and going for "run into the ground" too early or too frequently? * Do they pick an unusually large number of unhealthy firms that are prone to this endgame? In which case, why aren't they getting better at due diligence?
