It's mostly cognitive games, think decision making, pattern recognition, etc. pymetrics game results are valid for the next 6 months, and will often apply for any other firms you apply at that require pymetrics, so really focus and give it your all, you won't get a second chance. Good luck!

I applied to 9 groups and have 7 pymetrics interview invites this morning. I'm assuming everyone gets the video interview

How do you know what group the pymetrics is for if you applied to multiple?

anyone know if the HV are all the same or diff by division?

  • Prospect in IA

from what an analyst told me, it's a variation of "why blackstone ", "why (your division you applied to)" "tell me about yourself" or "something that's not on your resume" and he said he got asked "whats a recent article/deal you read about Blackstone". hope that helps

Hi, could you share some insights about the questions being asked?

Thanks a ton!!

  • Intern in RE - Comm

Only 4 questions. All straightforward. If you've done interviews before, you can certainly wing it.

  • Intern in RE - Comm
1mo

I didn't get that question. Instead, I got one asking if I had $1M, how would I invest it. That one seems more difficult.

Has anyone gotten hirevue/pymetrics who applied to RE acquisitions?

Did I get dinged if I haven't received yet?

I applied to a couple of RE positions and selected RE related groups at the end of the application and got the investments digital interview a couple of days after.

Same - applied only RE and have gotten one interview nearly a week after application.

  • Intern in IB - Gen

I got one one for PE , Infra, and RE secondaries, but not RE acq that i submitted a few days later, wouldn't be too worried yet. also given that it's BX and those guys are always busy as hell i doubt they care too much abt watching a 4 minute hirevue. if i had to get i'd say it's HR watching them but idk shit lmfao

26d
user3493 , what's your opinion? Comment below:

If HR at all. There are an enormous amount of these videos to watch. Hirevue includes an AI score (which is dumb in itself) based on eye contact, intonation and other metrics, and a lot of companies just go off that.

user3493 , what's your opinion? Comment below:

As far as I can tell, the pymetrics stuff doesn't indicate which specific group it's for. From what i can tell a lot of people are waiting to hear from acquisition so I'd just sit back and wait till Monday. I'm sure ur fine!

Diversity, got a first round for PE . Anyone know if it's rolling or not for other groups (so if I didn't get notified for first rounds for e.g. SP or tac opps this time then did I get dinged?)

Blackstone top deals summary, in depth summary of the firm - to help w/ interview prep - im thinking of creating this and posting to that @levfinance IG account page as the 1st post, to get the ball rolling.

Is this something you guys want? Would be helpful for those that interview to DM me and summarize the interview Q&A you got, including technicals, so that I can help the next round of folks too.

Anything else you want me to summary on Blackstone or to prep these SA interviews?

Gonna definitely synthesize now

1) Blackstone top deal

2) why blackstone - competitive strengths, what makes them unique

3) Job description - what will you be doing on the job? A summary w/ illustrations perhaps 🤔

I meant for a R1 lol. Everyone gets a hirevue. I told my friend to apply so he can see how stupid pymetrics are and he got a hirevue with a 3.0 gpa and an empty resume

Anyone hear back after interview from strategic partners?

adjacent-analyst , what's your opinion? Comment below:

there's two that I know of, "investment interview" and a "corporate interview" both are pretty similar but i think the investment one is a little more technical. i applied to pws and the only question that could've tripped someone up was "what's a recent blackstone deal you've followed", i had an answer ready so it went well for me.

thanks for the insight! so if i have 2 hirevues and both are for investing will I only have to do it once?

Nondiversity, got another pyremetrics assessment. However, when I clicked it, it was just the same thing repeated so it autosubmitted my previous one. Not sure what that was about. Happened for both the games and interview.
