      Pros

      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.

      Pros

      - Expose extensively to Private Equity and PEGs - Highly recommend to young professionals and of course recent graduates. And if you are a disciplined and self-motivated person, this is the place - You will learn a lot if you are willing to think more and contribute more - Highly transparent company, you got chance to know every aspects of a business - Two tips: try your best to see the big picture of the company and private equity business; try your best to have and keep curiosity

      Cons

      - Need to manage your own expenses if you are not from there - Need certain level of persistence and patient to keep doing it, especially during your first three months. Life could be a bit boring for some people. (Almost every position need to do some repetitive works though)
