Pros

There are no pros to this company. The only thing that's good about the position is the location, and even that's not good compared to where other firms that are actually in finance are located.

Cons

Nothing but grunt work. It takes advantage of it's disproportionately international intern pool to mine information that will allow a few people to make money while interns get nothing. There are plenty of internships that are much better and that teach much more relevant skills. You'll learn NOTHING about financial modeling, M&A, PE, or any other field this company claims to be involved in... Did I mention that this is all unpaid? If there were tangible skills being learned/taught, this might not be a big deal. But to look up information in salesforce and linkedin is nothing that will set you apart from any other applicants in real institutions...

Thank you for your feedback. If you really did work at Blackmore Partners, Inc you would know interns are already in the United States. 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 Blackmore attracts international interns because it is an opportunity for them to work on their communications skills and understanding of American business culture. Interns that put in the effort to move to the back-end portion of the business have the opportunity to interact with PE firms and gain relevant industry knowledge. 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. And judging by your complaints we would guess that you did not complete the very well designed program. 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==
