Bain Capital Overview

Bain Capital, LP is one of the world’s leading private investment firms with approximately $165 billion of assets under management that creates lasting impact for our investors, teams, businesses, and the communities in which we live. Since our founding in 1984, we’ve applied our insight and experience to organically expand into several asset classes including private equity, credit, public equity, venture capital and real estate. We leverage our shared platform to capture cross-asset class opportunities in strategic areas of focus. With offices on four continents, our global team aligns our interests with those of our investors for lasting impact.

Bain Capital Private Equity Overview

To date, Bain Capital Private Equity has raised twelve global private equity funds, five European funds and four Asian funds; and made over 1,100 investments. Our private equity activity primarily includes leveraged buyouts and growth capital invested across a wide variety of sectors. We believe the most critical ingredients in a company’s success are the management team and the alignment of management incentives with those of the investors. Our portfolio companies have significant management-equity ownership as a key part of the investment strategy. Bain Capital professionals are significant investors in each transaction, which achieves an alignment of goals with portfolio company management teams.

The group has developed significant expertise in several business areas including technology, healthcare, retail, telecommunications, industrial and consumer products. Transaction types include leveraged acquisitions, expansion capital, growth buyouts, turnarounds, consolidation plays, private buyouts, public company recapitalizations, convertible preferred investments, and financial restructurings.

REQUIRED EDUCATION

Strong academic record at a top undergraduate school

In addition to submitting your Workday application , we ask that you also complete this brief online assessment with our partners at the Predictive Index so that we can learn a bit more about your ability to process complex information. Note that we will not be able to consider you for interviews until we receive both your Workday application and Predictive Index assessments.

The assessment is broken-up into two sections – an untimed Behavioral Assessment, which measures work and communication needs, and a timed 12-minute Cognitive Assessment measuring a person’s capacity to learn, adapt and grasp new concepts. Please set aside a total of 15-20 undisturbed minutes to complete this. Once you complete the Behavioral Assessment, Predictive Index will email you a separate link to complete the timed Cognitive Assessment (this is a different link than the one above). Please check your spam folder if you do not immediately receive the second link or reach out to Sam Parlato with any questions. Feel free to check out this practice test which has been designed to familiarize you with the PI Cognitive Assessment process. Your answers to these sample questions do not affect your official PI Cognitive Assessment results.

Bain Capital is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
