Blackstone Undergraduate Interview

Hi, I was curious if anyone could provide insight on their personal experiences when interviewing at Blackstone as an undergraduate? The interview I have is specifically for a summer internship next year but any advice is welcome.

General questions I have:
- What groups did you interview for?
- What kind of questions did you get?
- Format of the interview? (Case study, LBO modeling, etc.)
- Any advice for someone preparing for the interviews?

Thank you in advance!

 

That's cool, you must be at a target school then. I haven't tried it yet but prof Chris Haraoun (last name maybe incorrect) does udemy videos on this stuff. There is also a gold mine of books an sites on the internet.

Absolute truths don't exist... celebrated opinions do.
 

I'm at a target in the UK but it doesn't have the Blackstone thing, anyway good luck mate, hope it works out well. I suggest the most important thing is to show your passion in theory an also being practical

Can't tell you anything specific, but you said you're really interested in tech, so if they ask you why, telling them why you're interested in tech shouldn't be too hard.

I think it depends on the person. I interviewed with them and the Boston guy was very standard ... what are comps, what are pros and cons of them, why Blackstone, why Boston, why Tech, etc. Could greatly depend though, and I've heard BX likes accretion/dilution and heavy accounting questions too

The Menlo office has a bunch of Citi guys I think, on all levels. Haven't noticed them doing anything major lately, but that doesn't mean they didn't; maybe there hasn't been much front-page news-worthy deal activity. Last thing I heard was the Yahoo / MSFT thing and even that wasn't really deal..

That's because BX bought out the Citi tech team.
