Bain Capital Real Estate - Culture, Comp, Hours, Etc...?

Just wondering what their stature is most recently. Would like an updated view on how they are, how well respected they are in REPE, culture, comp, WLB, and their future prospects. Are they on an upward/downward trend?

Yeah I'm sure they have a good reputation but they are relatively new players in the space. Then again so is KKR compared to BX. From what I can tell they exclusively invest through JVs. I believe they form partnerships with operators that are highly specialized in specific strategies/asset classes (mostly niche) to acquire/develop properties over a prolonged period under the created "brand" - the Genesis life science properties for example. I don't know anyone who works there so no inside scoop but I remember hearing somewhere that BCRE employees are assigned to work on one of these operating partnerships. Everything I said could be incorrect so if someone with better knowledge of the group knows better, please correct me.

 

All of this is on the money. We just spent several months interfacing with them about a programmatic JV. I would say they are more thematic investors than niche investors, but can confirm they are super research/thematic driven and spend many months to diligence a GP and their strategy before moving forward. They also require a ton of control / exclusivity / focus on the strategy for the JV. I like their team, they are very commercial and sharp from my interactions with them. Also, they are pretty siloed - for example the hotel team focuses strictly on their segment. 

 

This is incorrect. Comp for first year ASO is 155 base + 175 target bonus + 30 signing = $360. Comp through ASO is programmatic across Bain so all associates in different groups have the same base and target bonus. Signing bonus historically has been 30, but not sure about moving forward. Also considering you’re in Boston, in terms of cost of living, $360 there would be ~$530 in Manhattan, so there’s a massive upside there.

 

Appreciate the input. Do you know how this scales to the VP level, and what carry looks like? 

 

Bumping, really interested what people have to say. I've heard nothing but positive things and that they pay $450k+ all-in. Not sure where all these negative comments from.  

 

$450 sounds about right for ASO3, definitely not ASO1
