Thank you for your 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 Where your career goes following your internship often reflects the amount of effort the intern put in during the program. Interns that fully commit themselves for six months and make useful connections transition to roles with investment banks, private equity groups, etc. Our program was modeled after "Junior Achievement. You get out of it what you put 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. 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. Those that complete the program gain measurable, repeatable skills valued by employers. Consider you were scammed by your college. After four years of college you were not employable, they took your money and did not deliver. Your college did not have the respect for you and others of your generation to deliver what the market needs in an employee. In six months at Blackmore you build professional and communication skills that employers value and will pay you to come aboard. 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==

Pros

Great way to gain experience in the Private Equity field and also to develop your professional skills in the office.

Cons

Unpaid internship and location of office is not great. General manager has no sensitivity to what he says to others.

Pros

At Blackmore Partners I got my opportunity to get a close look at the industry. I learnt a lot about the private equity industry, how it works and what it looks for in executives. Most satisfying part of my internship was to be able to work in the deal team and actually to get an opportunity to interact with PE firms. I also enjoyed opportunity to network with people in this industry. These were my 2 main objectives from this internship and it is satisfying for me to achieve them.

Cons

It is an unpaid internship but the experience is valuable.
