Pros

some limited professional skills. Well I cannot think about more.

Cons

small and uncomfortable working environment and everyone works as a "secretary" right there.

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear that you did not have a favorable experience. We currently do not have any secretary positions that are held by interns. Our intern demographic is primarily M&A focused in addition to our Human Resources and Marketing positions. Interns are provided with the opportunity to do a higher level of work than most interns at other businesses. Because they make up a majority of the workforce, they are entrusted with critical responsibilities and may gain an experience that is comprehensive and valuable. Interns share a workspace because the environment is meant to be collaborative and team oriented. This is clearly expressed in the internship syllabus that is sent to all applicants prior to beginning their internship. There is more than sufficient space for all interns to be comfortable and productive.

Pros

NONE. The only benefit to working at this company was the ability to network with the MDs connections. However, those connections typically did not know the MD very well and sometimes did not like him...dont ask me why but I am sure you can guess.

Cons

To many to list..... Place is a scam. They use free labor to prop up fake deals.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. 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 We encourage all interns to utilize the Managing Director's network to make useful connections in their pursuit of a job. With a database of over 40,000 C-level executives, it is impossible for him to have a relationship will all of those individuals so this should be considered before reaching out. As for a scam, not sure what you mean? The internship is a "training program" with clear and measurable written outcomes to develop those who cannot get a job in today market. Blackmore is only for those who want to cannot get a paid position because they lack training and experience. Those that complete the program gain measurable, repeatable skills valued by employers. Consider the scam was that after 4 years of college you were not employable, they took your money and did not deliver. In six months at Blackmore you build professional and communication skills that employers value and will pay. 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==

Our prgram was modeled after "Junior Achievement. You get out of it what you pout in. If you got nothing out of it, likely you did not apply yourself. Since 2005, we estimate over 300 interns have gone through the program.
