KKR Summer Analyst 2021
There is already a large full-time 2021 analyst thread for KKR going, but wanted to see if anyone else is currently in process for their 2021 SA programs and any knowledge others may have about the program.

what divisions does KKR hire SA for? Have known people in Credit, but I believe PE is only a FT program
Also only know people in Lev Credit out in SF. Seems to be a small program but as they only recruit through OCR would be interested if there are any more.
so there’s a sa program for kkr? how about other big ass pe firms like carlyle (i kno blackstone’s hiring)
Just got a message on Handshake from a KKR recruiter - looked like applications opened up for 2021 SA for the following groups:
Capital Markets
Client and Partner Group
Credit Solutions
Infrastructure
Leveraged Credit
Private Equity
Private Credit / Asset-Based Finance
Real Estate
Is this the first year KKR has ever done a formal SA application? I don't think I've ever heard of a PE summer analyst at KKR
I believe so, I heard they were rolling out a new program for next summer. The application deadline for my school at least is the 13th, so it seems like they are not keeping it open for too long.
Go to West Coast school and got a message from KKR recruiter today. Seemed like an automated message
School's career center posted an announcement with the link on the application. Lower Ivy.
Anyone want the app link? I have it
Can you send to me please
Could you send to me as well?
After submitting the survey/application form, did you guys get a confirmation email? I didn't and am hoping it still went through haha
I visited this thread for the exact same reason. I didn't get a confirmation email but have no reason to suspect I screwed anything up.
Anyone else receive a link to online assessments?
Just got it as well
I received it yesterday as well.
Soooooo PI Cognitive Test I guess?
Are assessment invitations selective?
Considering that apps were due yesterday, I doubt it.
Also got it, has anyone else taken the PI Cognitive test?
I took it for Bain, unclear what the point of the behavioral part is to me but whatever. The cognitive section is pretty fun but I think I still had two pages to go.
Has anyone tried emailing the HR with an exploding offer?
Also interested
Just took the PI exam. Was able to get through all 10 pages, not too bad!
Extremely helpful, thank you. Any prep tips?
It's honestly just brain teasers. Like pattern recognition, "what is the opposite of word x", what number is smaller (mental fraction math), etc. Nothing too crazy! The time crunch is the most difficult aspect of it, but I made sure to pace myself and finished with maybe 30 seconds left. If you don't get a question I'd just move on tbh.
Do people know when interviews are going to start?
Bump, anyone know when first rounds will start to go out?
I believe that they are trying to go quick, so I'd imagine this week or next.
anyone know what to expect from interviews? would they be highly technical or more behavioral/business intuition focused
Probably depends on the business. I'd expect PE and Credit to have highly technical aspects to their process
very strong emphasis on business intuition/pitches from my experience
for what business group?
anyone hear back?
Applied to PE in Menlo, I'll post in the thread if I hear back.
Same :) Let's keep each other updated
Same! Let's hope for the best
bump! does anyone have insights into the timeline
Spoke with an incoming team member, they said they didn't have any insights. Seems like they aren't imminent, but not sure how or why they would take so long, Already been 2 weeks, doubt its more than 2 more weeks.
Agreed. Interviews should be coming out the next week by the latest right?
One of my friends got selected to interview with Health Care in Menlo Park. First rounds kick off next week.
Anyone else hear back in the thread?
health care growth was an option? didn't see it
The health care, consumer, and tech PE teams work out of the Menlo office
.
Anyone else hear back? Also for those who have, schools? Is it going on a school by school basis?
Received an email this morning to schedule 2, 1st round interviews which are now scheduled for tomorrow with Credit Solutions.
Any word on infra? And people who heard back—how did you feel about the cognitive assessment? Feel like I was poss in low 40s but idk what they’re lookin for
Anyone heard back from consumer/tech?
Waiting on this as well
Anyone heard back from consumer/tech?
Anyone been pinged for first rounds in NY PE groups? I've heard of Infra and Health Care invites in Menlo Park, but that's all.
haven't heard back for NY
Hear back by next week latest
any fellow CPG people?
Got a first round for Private Credit/Asset-based Finance
Anyone had a first round for PE?
yes
For NY?
bump
Anyone got a first round from tech/crg?
Bump - anyone get a 1st round for PE NY?
Did anyone get a first round for CPG?
has anyone got a rejection email yet without an interview
i haven’t and thought i did well on the test
out of curiosity, what is considered a good score on the pi test?
I haven’t and I never even got the test.
Fairly certain I didn’t make the cut lol.
Has anyone gotten a second round invite after first round PE?
NY or Menlo?
NY!
Got my REPE offer
did anyone actually get a first round for PE? I don't think any rounds went out according to connections but this is really weird and / or they invited very few people to the 2nd round
you're not sure if 1st rounds went out, or do you mean 2nd rounds?
.
Dinged
Sorry to hear that man. Was this after a first round?
Not even a first round lol.
.
.
Going through Private Credit SA interviews right now, how many rounds did you have?
anyone else hear nothing?
Anyone hear anything in terms of any kind of second round?
