Career in Private Equity
The Buyouts Division (Private Equity) specialises in identifying, acquisition and management of investee companies. The division consists of three sections: investment (Project Management Department), analytic (Analysis Department) and crisis management (Change Management Department).
While investment specialists in the Project Management Department comprehensively manage projects from the perspective of the shareholders – from acquisition, through value-creation to exit; analysts specialise in calculating the company value, both prior to investment and during the period of ownership. The Change Management Department employs highly-experienced managers, who manage newly acquired companies during the initial transformation period.

The selection process
The first round of the selection process consists of screening all candidates’ CV’s and cover letters. Your cover letter should answer the following questions: Why are you applying for a given position at Penta Investments? Which of your competencies, such as knowledge, skills, and abilities, will help you to be successful in the position?
Selected candidates will be invited into the second round, where their professional skills, knowledge and other qualification will be assessed, typically in tests (professional, language, psychodiagnostic tests) and/or through case studies. If you are interested in details, have a look at an example of a professional test.
In the third (and potentially also fourth) round, applicants undergo structured interviews, focused mainly on their professional career, their motivation and ambitions, as well as their knowledge and skills.
