Starwood Property Trust rotational analyst program
Curious if anyone has any thoughts/experience/insight with the rotational program here. Seems like you cycle through a range of groups, but are you then placed on a team at the end of the rotation? Thoughts on program overall/typical hours expected? Also, any idea if it's worth/possible to branch from property trust to capital group?
Have they started interviews yet?
They’ve been interviewing for over a month now. I unfortunately got dinged after second round
Very little info online pertaining to interview information. Could you provide any insight on how it was at least with the first 2 (very technical/behavioral, how many)?
First round phone call, behavioral.
Second round all technical
I did not enjoy my interview process tbh. First round was great, interviewer was very nice. I explained how I don’t have the strongest RE background however I am very interested in breaking into industry. Interviewer understood the situation as he was in the same position as I was, wasn’t a RE guy, came in knowing nothing and learned.
Moved onto second round: My interviewer seemed to be depressed or just didn’t enjoy their job. Very monotonous and sounded like they didn’t even want to interview me. It sounded like they had just given up.
I answered the technicals to the best of my ability, probably got some wrong which got me dinged, but interviewer was just not enthralling or even seemed interested in me at all. Sucks that I got dinged, but in hindsight, I wouldn’t want to work with someone so bitchy tbh.
Asked about further interview process: next steps are more technical rounds and last round is a modeling case study.
Hope this helps and good luck !
Are they still sending out interviews or are offer decisions already made?
Still lost on if this a deal role or if it’s back office for Starwood Capital. Can anyone explain?
Not back office. They're a publicly-traded mortgage REIT, so most of the company (by $/%) does balance sheet lending. They also have an infrastructure lending arm, RMBS arm, and special servicer (LNR) which is getting busy with lots of defaults in CMBS.
How would this compare to working at a RE debt fund? Obv Starwood is great, but how would others view experience at a mortgage reit?
Are they still interviewing for FT 24?
