It seems KKR is starting an analyst program again starting full time in 2020.
Does anyone have some info on what the program is like? Is it industry specific or generalist, career progress after (2 and out vs direct promotion), hours, comp, thoughts on the level of involvement/responsibility an analyst will when working along side an associate.

Word on the street is that the program is going to be extremely small. There was some talk among school/finance club alumni at my target and as far as I know they're looking to hire a single student from our school and are targeting a female/diversity candidate who has interned at one of: a top BB, EB or top PE analyst program (think SLP, BX, GSIP)
This. I attend a target and after KKR spoke to us the only person they reached out to was a female diversity candidate.
The networking event is for their top candidates. Typically 3.9+ from wharton/harvard and with BB IBD or PE/HF ongoing junior summer. Those are the kids getting 1st round interviews. Whatever prescreen is only to screen out any outliers at that point.
For those who couldn’t make the webinar, they said that the teams are reviewing our applications now. First round invites should go out in the next 2 weeks. The first rounds will be by phone with 2 people from the team, and final rounds will be in person (with up to 5 interviews that day) at the end of July. People receiving offers should be notified by the second week of August.
