About the company

Blackstone is a global alternative asset manager that invests across private equity, real estate, credit and insurance, infrastructure, and hedge fund solutions. Blackstone works with institutional investors and, through private wealth channels, individual investors. Blackstone runs investment vehicles and funds that back companies, buy real assets, and provide private lending. Blackstone is headquartered in New York and operates through multiple business units and strategies worldwide.

Locations and presence

Blackstone lists offices across 27 cities worldwide, including New York as headquarters and major hubs across EMEA and APAC. Many early-career roles are explicitly described as in-person, and business press has reported a strong return-to-office expectation across the firm.

Palpable Score

77.3

/ 100

Blackstone offers clear entry points through structured internships, defined timelines, and a broad set of campus roles across teams and geographies. The biggest limits are uneven transparency beyond the campus timeline and limited public outcome data on conversion rates, promotion speed, and retention, which keeps the overall score below the very top tier.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

17.0

/ 20

The company runs a Summer Analyst and Summer Associate internship program that typically lasts 10 weeks and targets students in their junior year or first year of business school, creating a predictable annual entry point.

Blackstone posts a large set of campus roles across multiple divisions and locations (for example, Strategic Partners Summer Analyst in London and other 2026 program postings), which widens access beyond a single team or geography.

The company offers earlier “pre-internship” style exposure through programs like Future Leaders (two-day program for sophomores) and other sophomore initiatives listed under Diversity and Inclusion.

‍

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.0

/ 20

The company publishes a campus recruiting timeline with concrete expectations, including when roles appear, when interviews run in the US, and what early stages look like (first-round video interview followed by face-to-face meetings if progressed).

Blackstone’s campus materials note that interviews and deadlines vary by region (for example Europe deadlines and APAC timing), which helps candidates avoid guessing about international cycles.

The company does not publish a consistent, role-by-role stage map for assessments, feedback, or decision timelines beyond the campus overview, so candidates still rely on third-party reports to understand what happens after early rounds.

‍

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

16.8

/ 20

The company describes internship support that includes mentorship, continuous feedback, technical and soft-skill training, and networking opportunities within the Summer Analyst program.

Blackstone’s sustainability reporting describes structured onboarding (semiannual new hire orientation featuring senior leaders) and a formal Early Careers initiative designed to develop and mentor junior talent over a three-year period.

The company’s early-talent approach is reinforced by reporting on internship orientation and training blocks (orientation followed by technical and business-specific training), but detailed team-by-team differences are not consistently published in one place.

‍

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

16.5

/ 20

The company includes posted base salary ranges on many US job listings (for example, analyst roles listing ranges such as $90,000–$125,000 and $110,000–$115,000), which supports pay transparency where required.

Blackstone job listings commonly describe benefits beyond base pay, including health coverage, retirement plans and 401(k), paid time off, and bonus eligibility for many roles.

The company does not consistently publish pay information for internships or for roles outside the US where postings often state local processes apply, which limits how confidently early-career candidates can compare offers globally.

‍

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company positions the summer internship program as a key pipeline into full-time analyst hiring, and recent reporting describes sizable intern cohorts feeding the entry-level funnel.

Blackstone has mixed public sentiment for early-career experiences, with employee reviews frequently praising learning and caliber of colleagues while also flagging long hours and slower promotions in some teams.

The company’s public LinkedIn profile patterns show multiple early-career progressions from Analyst to Associate and onward (including AVP and VP titles across different functions), but Blackstone does not publish conversion rates, time-to-promotion norms, or retention outcomes, which caps confidence in outcomes.
