BAIN CAPITAL NORTH AMERICA PRIVATE EQUITY
The Path into Private Equity (PiPE) program is a 10-week, Boston-based Summer Analyst internship within our North America Private Equity (NAPE) fund. As a Summer Analyst, you will get exposure to a breadth of industries, multiple types of investments, and significant deal experience in a short period of time.
Have a voice from the outset
You will learn how to become a value-added investor by strategically assessing and evaluating a wide range of investment opportunities with a principal mindset. Our teams work collaboratively; every member of the team owns a critical piece of the diligence, and we encourage every member of the team to voice their point of view on complex business decisions. You will also gain operating experience through exposure to a variety of portfolio company issues, from potential add-on investments to liquidity options to improving core operations.
Accelerate your professional growth
You will benefit from a comprehensive, week-long training program that is designed to introduce Bain Capital's value-added investment approach. Our small class size and inclusive team will provide you with individualized guidance and mentorship throughout the 10-week program.
Apply now for our 2027 PiPE program
The PiPE Summer Analyst program is available to students who are currently in their sophomore year of an undergraduate program. Candidates should have an excellent academic track record and strong quantitative, leadership and communication skills. This Boston-based program commences in June 2027 with the potential for a full-time offer of employment in July 2028. Please note applicants must be authorized to work in the US.
In addition to completing this Workday application, we also ask that you complete a brief online assessment with our partners at Predictive Index (~20 minutes to complete), so that we can learn a bit more about your workplace behavior and your ability to process complex information. 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. Once you complete the Behavioral Assessment (linked above), Predictive Index will email you a separate link to complete the timed Cognitive Assessment. Please check your spam folder if you do not immediately receive the second link or reach out to Sam Parlato (sparlato@baincapital.com) with any questions. Feel free to check out this practice test. Your answers to these sample questions do not affect your official PI Cognitive Assessment results.
**If you have already completed the Predictive Index Assessments through our Investors of Tomorrow program, no further action is required**
