Vault names Bates White #1 best consulting internship program for 2026

October 22, 2025

Bates White is proud to announce its recognition as the top-ranked program in Vault's 2026 Best Consulting Internships rankings. This marks the fifth time that the firm has earned the #1 spot on the list.

Bates White also achieved the rank of #3 on Vault's 150 Best Internships rankings, as well as #1 on the 2026 Best Internships for Data Analytics list and #4 on the 2026 Best Internships for Training & Mentoring list.

To compile the rankings, Vault surveyed thousands of current and former interns in the summer of 2025. Respondents were asked to rate their internship experiences across six core areas: quality of life, compensation and benefits, the interview process, career development, full-time employment prospects, and diversity.

Past interns have highlighted Bates White's positive culture and the opportunity to work on real cases and do real work for clients. Additional reviews from the firm's 2025 Summer Consultants can be found on the Bates White 2026 Vault profile.

The firm's 10-week Summer Consultant program offers extensive training, hands-on qualitative and quantitative client work, mentoring by firm leaders, social events, and the opportunity to organize a community service project.

"We are honored to once again be recognized as the top consulting internship program by Vault," said Stacy Reyan, Chief People Officer. "This achievement highlights the dedication and hard work we've invested in creating a program that delivers an outstanding educational, professional, and social experience for our summer consultants."
