What Makes Us a Great Place To Work
We are proud to be consistently recognised as one of the world's best places to work. Bain has ranked as the top consulting firm on Glassdoor's Best Places to Work list every year since the rankings began in 2009, and has earned the #1 overall spot seven times. Extraordinary teams are at the heart of our business strategy, but these don't happen by chance. They require intentional focus on bringing together a broad set of backgrounds, cultures, experiences, perspectives, and skills in a supportive and inclusive work environment. We hire people with exceptional talent and create an environment in which every individual can thrive professionally and personally.
Who You’ll Work With
Tech Insights Group (TIG) at Bain & Company is a rapidly growing global team of world-class consultants and technologists. We work with leading Private Equity (PE) investors and their tech-enabled portfolio companies to act as technical advisors in investment processes. We conduct product and technology due diligence engagements and value creation assignments, leveraging our extensive expertise in software and understanding of commercial environments specific to tech-enabled businesses. We deliver our projects by combining a team of consultants with CPOs and CTOs of leading global technology and software companies with decades of both advising and operating experience. The team has completed 400+ product and technology diligences and value creation engagements worldwide. Over the past 4 years, we supported our clients on some of the most visible technology investments in the US and Europe, including several of the Top 2024 and Top 2025 software deals. We conduct engagements spanning enterprise applications, vertical applications (HCIT, FinTech, EdTech), infrastructure software, cloud software, and tech enabled services (IT services, e-Commerce, AdTech). We also help funds understand GenAI disruption potential and opportunities to inform their investment thesis. Bain's Tech Insights practice is a place where agile minds work powerfully and nimbly together, thriving on spirited discussion. The Tech Insights Group operates within the Expert Client Delivery (ECD) team, a global capability area designed to provide support to clients across Europe and beyond through a single, globally organized team. TIG enhances our Private Equity Group (PEG) and General Consulting (GC) capabilities by offering specialized technical expertise to support our clients at every stage of the investment lifecycle from deal generation and due diligence to portfolio value creation and exit planning.
