Conseils à la direction

get better

Avantages

People are smart Work is interesting - there's something new every day and we see so much and can learn a ton. Hyper focused on client relationships and "customer service", which helps the firm maintain strong relationships Each business unit is pretty much a standalone business, so you feel like you're working for a much smaller firm. You can get to know people, get more face time with senior people and have...

Inconvénients

Lack of firm-wide and partner-level focus on leadership and development, which means that VPs/MDs were hit or miss in terms of managing/leadership skills and how good they were at managing a team and developing junior talent. Misalignment of compensation and behaviors that the firm wants to promote - too focused on financial outcomes, not enough focus on contribution to culture and people development. Haven't gotten...

Conseils à la direction

Focus on people & development, especially relating to diversity/inclusion Figure out what employees really want and take action to retain talent

Avantages

Most of the people here are extremely smart and capable. Some of the best in the industry. Business is booming, and Blackstone is one of the best names in the Private Equity space. Great growth potential

Inconvénients

Technology and Data Science should be a bigger part of the investment process. HR is not as good as other financial firms

Conseils à la direction

The investment team is top notch. A great investment team needs top notch supporting teams.

Avantages

The way you get treated depends on what team you are on. Some teams make you feel like family (which is important when working 60+ hours a week), other teams make you want to quit on the spot. Overall, have worked with some really amazing people.

Inconvénients

Don’t expect to get paid well, salaries are below market rate because the firm relies on their name to attract talent. No 401k matches. Healthcare is EXPENSIVE - you will end up paying a good amount of money for mediocre healthcare. Some people can really make you hate your job here. Senior management claims to be supportive of your career path, but at the end of the day, they only care that you are doing your work...

Conseils à la direction

Don’t make false promises, work to develop your junior team members (not just those on the investment team, but middle/back office teams also).

Avantages

Good Benefits & Salary Strong company to have on your CV Great work experience

Inconvénients

Not a good work life balance Expectation to be available 24/7 Would have very little confidence in the discretion or professionalism of some HR staff

Avantages

1.. BX provides lots of opportunities from the very start of career. 2. Great extracurricular culture, Lake Tahoe charity bike ride, City Harvest, etc 3. Work with the best minds from ivy league colleges.

Have to invest at least a few years here to really get promoted.

Global Corporate Serivces is mismanaged and disconnected. Upper management should be aware they do not operate with the values of the company.
