Intern Reviews
- “Arena struck the perfect balance between fun and focus. I was able to learn a lot during my time while also enjoying every day. My colleagues were extremely helpful with work and otherwise enjoyable to spend time with.”
- “Everyone is super nice, and it is a great environment to learn and get exposed to so many new things happening in the industry.”
- “The environment was extremely useful for my development, the dynamic within and between teams was positive and allowed me to learn crucial skills and concepts throughout the internship.”
- “All members of the firm are sensitive to balancing work/life—more so than I have seen in the past, and certainly more than peers in similar roles at other firms.”
Getting Hired Here
- “There were roughly five rounds of interviews. Each progressive interview was with a more senior position (first with a rotational analyst, then a junior associate, etc.). Earlier interviews were more technical with an accounting focus, much like the questions one would encounter in an early-round IB interview. Interviewers are looking for a combination of technical knowledge, solid communication skills, and eloquence & interest/curiosity in private credit. Interviewers were helpful and genuine throughout the process. They are fairly selective along these standards.”
- “The interview process was difficult, but I feel it was able to generate candidates with whom I enjoyed working.”
