Bumping this, interested to hear more about them.

Did watch the ‘Dirty Money’ episode on Kushner, but I think bias played some role there. Painted them as crooked slum lords, who take advantage of poor people. If your are in the process to start an internship there, how’d you do it? I hear family offices like theirs don’t have formal processes for hiring.

 

yeah they seem to have some cool stuff and doing some big deals. Still, they have black cloud over them, first with what charlie kushner did and now jared in the WH. I don't know, hopefully someone who's worked with can shed more light.

So there are two main Kushner RE firms, Kushner and The KRE Group. Charles Kushner ran "Kushner" and his brother Murray later opened up "The KRE Group", they don't talk to each other anymore and the rift has followed to their children, Jared at Kushner and Jonathan at KRE. KRE focuses entirely on NJ real estate, mostly apartments but they'll do anything (except hotel) if the opportunity is right. From the people I've met there it's a great place, the family is really nice. 

I don't know the Kushner side as well, but I have a friend who worked for them in a non-RE position and left after 6 months, said it was the worst job experience she had. They also are a bigger company and do stuff all over, but still focus mostly in NJ. 

 

Thoughts on this firm, culture, interview questions, how this is for an internship, what they like to see, reputation, etc. Appreciate any insight. Especially acquisitions and development focused.

They've gotten some really bad press, not politics related, as slumlords.  Obviously there is the politics and the crime stuff, too.

They're also been involved in some of the absolute worst deals in recent memory, e.g. 666 Fifth Ave. 

 

I've wondered about the relative risk of having a company with a checkered reputation on the rez - seems like there are quite a few big players that fall in this category . . . Empire Management / Ohebshalom family of NYC comes to mind.

The guys have horrid reviews but own a ton of buildings and do deals. As a junior employee, worth it if you can get good experience? 

 

Not fully understanding why people think this is such a bad place to work. They did a decent job in this last previous cycle and they are bound to receive an outsized portion of negative attention from the media due to their association. Furthermore, it's a mid sized family office and aren't family offices difficult to make your way into? Appreciate thoughts. From a purely real estate perspective, this seems to be a decent opportunity?
