      Summer Internship Interview

      5 Mar 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ares Management (London, England) in Dec 2024

      Interview

      The interview process was relatively straightforward, though the communication could definitely have been better. I was left without any updates for about two weeks after the final round, which was quite anxiety-inducing. The first stage was an HR screening. Passing this seems somewhat random in the current graduate market, but if successful, you move straight into a four-hour assessment centre. This involved three individual interviews, an Excel test, and a group exercise. I made it through to the next round and was told I was one of the final two candidates but, unfortunately, didn’t receive an offer. Everyone I met throughout the process was lovely, and the company culture seems really positive—a great place to kick-start your career. That said, I was disappointed with the feedback I received after the final round. The decision was based on the other candidate speaking three languages while I only spoke English, which felt unconstructive, but alas - that's just how the cookie crumbles.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Ares Management

      Interview

      Application then phone interview then video interview then AC. Technicals are like IB technicals, need good industry awareness and very strong motivationals. Show you have thoroughly researched firm. Also make sure Excel Skills are advanced as this will likely be tested.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Ares Management in Oct 2023

      Interview

      Fairly normal interview process, interviewed with a VP and basically asked a lot of behavioral questions such as Who are you? Why Ares? They asked a lot about my previous internship experience as well.
