I'm planning on meeting with some HR people from the Blackstone Group in Boston tomorrow. I know a little bit about the company already and will obviously be doing a lot more research tonight but I'd really appreciate anything anyone can tell me that will help me tomorrow. Has anybody worked there or interviewed with them that can tell me what it's generally like? Anything and everything is appreciated.

If you're an undergrad I'd be wary if you're considering looking into an SA position. I'm a top target and a kid I know here was an absolute stud going through college: rockstar resume, interned at a tier 1 BB IBD sophmore summer etc. and then did his junior summer at Blackstone. He wound up not getting an offer, and this "no offer" business dinged him so badly he didn't even get one BB offer for full-time when senior year rolled around.
This was the same kid who beat out practically everyone in his class as a sophmore and many people a grade above him, now on the sidelines as kids with no IB experience whatsoever got full-times and he didn't get shit because Blackstone didn't offer him. I'd seriously look into what their summer offer rate is and consider if one summer at such a huge brand name is worth the risk of getting blown out of the business. Anybody else know about this?
well i'm only a sophomore right now. Also at a target and this very well just may be a stepping stone for me assuming i am offered a position which of course i'm going to call a BIG if at the moment. so I'm not so worried about being blown out of the business just yet.
ask questions about their IPO and what it means to the firm, how much value could it add, etc.
I thought Blackstone doesn't even look at sophomores. Congrats on the interview -- what division are you interviewing for?
Rumor has it that Blackstone has not given an offer to SA in 5 years.
The best part about this is i don't really know what i'm interviwing for. Got a call from my dad telling me to call someone in the morning. He mentioned mutual funds though...
thats how he got the interview
Out of curiosity, which school are you at that you pulled an interview there as a sophomore? Congrats btw.
it wasnt my school, it was a contact i had
monkeyintraining:
Are you sure you're talking about Blackstone and not BlackRock?
Exactly. Might want to confirm that, because you'll look stupid if you ask about how the IPO will help the company. They'll probably feel like the Penn kids when you comment on what a great coach Joe Paterno was; and they don't like that feeling.
Mutual funds sounds like BlackRock.
Actually, it would be the other way around
Blackstone Interview (Originally Posted: 08/22/2008)
I finished a summer analyst position at a BB firm and was invited to interview with Blackstone.
What can I expect? Has anyone gone through this process? How many interviews? How technical?
Thanks!
went through this for the summer, you can PM me if interested.
Blackstone Interviews (Originally Posted: 01/27/2009)
When does Blackstone start interviewing for summer of 2009 internships? Or have they already begun?
Mine is scheduled for next week.
.
Are guys at Ivies?
Yup. I'm assuming questions are going to be all technicals.
How did everyone's go? Has anyone heard back post-phone interview or know the time frame?
second rounds next week anyone?
And which group if I may ask? Thanks and wish you all good luck!
