Good place to start for recent graduated
Jul 4, 2015 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Blackmore Partners is a good place to start for your career path. you will gain experience in Private Equity industry and learn about deals cycle. Also, the company gives you a chance to connect with c-level people and people who works in PE firms. Good to learn from their experience and build your stronger path in the future. Another good thing in Blackmore Partners, you will meet and work with many great colleagues. In multicultural work environment, everyone is willing to share their experience and always supports each other. Lastly, you may need to work in different tasks which is very challenge. But you will really improve your time management and multiple tasking skill.
Cons
It is full-time unpaid internship. You will work in the very basic tasks and pretty boring things in the first few weeks. So, you may need to have high self motivation to put yourself.
Thanks for your feedback. Yes you need high motivation and that muscle of motivation no matter what the task at hand is key to getting and keeping high paying jobs!

Great Opportunity to gain valuable work experience
Sep 1, 2015 - Anonymous InternRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I found my internship and work experience at Blackmore Partners to be quite fulfilling, enjoyable and valuable. I am switching career paths, specifically wanting to pursue a career in finance (Investment banking, private equity). Prior to my internship the only experience and knowledge I possessed was all classroom knowledge. I had no actual hands on experience in regards to private equity or investment banking. This internship provided me with valuable insight in regards to deal making. I gained in-depth understanding of the interaction between private equity firms and potential target companies they look to acquire. I hear many people say that there isn’t any financial modeling that takes place here as many people are looking to gain “financial modeling” experience. And they’re right, there isn’t much financial modeling that goes on here. But you should have gained and tuned your financial modeling skills in school. This internship offers you much more than that. This internship gives you a great understanding of the process of buying and selling companies, and what private equity firms look for when purchasing a company. You interact and are constant communication with Private equity firms, investment banks, and C- level executives.
Cons
This internship is non-paid, but that’s made very clear from the beginning. Just reiterating this point to those individuals who live out of state and are thinking of moving to Chicago for this internship, or any other nonpaid internship for that matter.

Thank you for your feedback. It is very clear you took advantage of this very well designed internship. Want to hear what the former President of Pepsi says about Blackmore and their business model? Go to the following YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsepnBlPT5U Our prgram was modeled after "Junior Achievement. You get out of it what you pout in. For those who got nothing out of it, likely they did not apply themselves. Since 2005, we estimate over 300 interns have gone through the program. The internship is a "training program" with clear and measurable written outcomes to develop those who cannot get a job in todays market. Blackmore is only for those who want to cannot get a paid position because they lack training and experience that they should have gotten in college. Those that complete the program gain measurable, repeatable skills valued by employers. You went to college so you could get a good paying job. You college did not deliver on that promise. The evidence is that after 4 years of college you were not employable, Your college took your money and did not deliver. In six months at Blackmore you build professional and communication skills that employers value and will pay. We deliver and we do not charge you. Perhaps we should? Also we are hiring: http://www.glassdoor.com/job-listing/ma-advisory-internship-private-equity-unpaid-6-month-JV_IC1128808_KO0,52_IE308034.htm?jl=1355930690&paoIdKey=MA==

You can develop yourself as the way you want if you work hard
Jun 10, 2015 - Mergers & Acquisitions Analyst in White Plains, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Working as a M&A Analyst Intern at Blackmore Partners, I have learnt a lot of invaluable experience, which help me build a strong career path in future. Training and projects taught me how to be a professional in Private Equity Industry and made me work efficiently. The best part of this internship was that you could develop yourself to be the way you want. After I had done my daily task, I wanted to enroll in more projects and assist my directors to finish their documentations. Therefore, I developed myself with skills of project management and multitasking. I think, Blackmore provides a very serious working environment and you can learn a lot if you are serious too.
Cons
If you are already a professional, this job may not fit with you.

Good Place to start your career in financial services
Jan 3, 2016 - Intern in Chicago, ILRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Blackmore Partners is giving the new graduates the opportunity to develop their skill set such as talking to C-Level executives on the phone, learning more about different industries, doing research about ongoing deals, etc. Interns are able to find a paid internship after gaining experience at Blackmore Partners and working 3-6 months for free is much better than sitting at home unemployed and desperately sending resumes to online job advertisement. It doesn't hurt to work voluntarily while looking for a better position in the long term.
Cons
Unpaid internship and no benefits provided to cover the daily expenses of the interns.
