The Blackstone Group Interview Questions

Efficient and smooth process and well structured format. Met with some team members as well as members from other functions. Overall, the interview process was relatively similar to that of other similar asset managers

1 round never heard back. It was over zoom. 6 people interviewed me. it was pretty standard. No trick questions or case study. 1 round never heard back. It was over zoom. 6 people interviewed me. it was pretty standard. No trick questions or case study.

Initial recruiter screening over the phone, plus two separate days of 5 interviews with different members of the team (colleagues and middle/upper management). Mostly behavioral with some technical valuation questions.

The interview process is automated and involves a recorded video upload as well as a series of virtual games that aren't tests but are used to pick out certain qualities about the interview to determine if the position is likely to be a match

Applied through a recruiter. I went through 7 rounds of interviews, 30 minutes each, spread over 2 weeks. Overall positive experience, lead the interview like a conversation and you will be fine! To prepare, look up the background on the person interviewing you, the recent deals Blackstone is pursing/pursued in your business unit, and be prepared to answer why Blackstone and why you are a great fit for the organization.

Two rounds one screening one final round with 3 people. Research about the company beforehand and asked some technical questions. People are friendly and kind. Technical questions need to be practiced.

It was on plymetrics and it was pretty good. The games seem to be a good way to gage different qualities in people I would say. The video interview was also good.

Over the course of about 3 hours, I was interviewed individually by three men who worked in FP&A. You should look up private equity deals ahead of time in case they ask you. All I could think of were spanx and ancestry and I didn’t have much to say about them. One of the interviewers did cancel during the interview I was in with his coworker which was kind of rude. His interview was the worst. He said I’ve only been here a few months (I was wondering why he was interviewing me, then?) and as an interview tactic, he told me that everyone here works until 10 or 11 PM on a good day, and he also misstated the hybrid policy as 4 days in office when it is in fact three according to his colleagues. He did also take time to look down on people who like to work 9-5 and insinuated that I would not be successful at Blackrock if I wanted to stick to 8 hours per day, and if that was the case, I should apply at Citi. But he did have bags under his eyes, so maybe he really was working until 10 or 11 each day. Who knows? I was glad I wouldn’t have to work with him when they rejected me for being unprepared for the interview. I will say the other two employees, VP and AVP were lovely and actually asked me questions about my experience in FP&A, although they did seem hung up on the fact that I did not have direct reports at my last role, so be ready to offer some alternative experience managing people if that applies to you.

Few rounds of interviews, mix of behavioral and technical; smart, nice people. Judged based on merit of application and interviews, not based on obsequious and shallow networking like investment banking.

I only got Hirevue, and Pymetrics test. For hi revue, I am asked to answer five questions in recording. There are both types of general question and company specific ones.
