Pros

Link Industrial Properties is Blackstone’s US industrial real estate operating platform and it comes with tremendous growth and opportunities. Management is the best in the business and the Accounting Department is the most efficient, reliable, and accurate accounting team I have been associated with in my 15+ year career. The CAO is extremely bright, driven, and pushes you to do more than your typical “Property Accountant” role. Not only will you learn the nuts and bolts of real estate accounting but you will also learn and be heavily involved in the budgeting, leasing, and forecasting process. You work hand and hand with the Asset Managers, Portfolio Managers and Operations to get a holistic view of the largest real estate private equity company in the US. The CAO values hard work and wants input from the team on efficiencies and best practices. There is bunch of examples of new staff coming in and being promoted multiple times very quickly. The Senior VP of Accounting started in the AP department. A handful of current Region Controllers started as Jr. Property Accountants. Many of the VP Portfolio Managers started as Lease Admins. With all the current growth happening company the sky really is the limit. Salary and bonuses are always very generous and much better than what you would get at Keystone/Brixmor or other competitors for Property Accountants. If you are willing to work hard and want to learn about real estate this is the place for you.

Cons

When you go from 300 properties / 75 million in square feet to 2500 properties / over 355 million square feet in one year there is going to be some growing pains. Staffing and training will be expedited and at times deadlines and workflow may be stressful but this true for any fast pace Real Estate Company (the difference is no RE company has grown this size this quickly). I am old enough to remember when the RE market turned (2007-2009) and trust me….being at a growing company (even with some growing pains) is 100% better from than having a reduced workload because you are selling or in some cases giving back properties to a bank. The learning and compensation just stop at that point.

Pros

Smart people in accounting, too bad they are all miserable. Pay is good, likely because it’s the only way to attract talent due to terrible reputation in the market. Several local recruiters have black listed this department.

Cons

List below speaks for accounting department in Fort Washington only. Positive review seems to be discussing another office or area of company. Blackstone and CEO too far removed to see the way the current CAO treats employees and mishandling transition and acquisition. Constant screaming and belittling of employees in open office setting. Terminating new employees within days to weeks of start date (little training or room for error) showing lack of respect for people’s ability to support their families or the responsibility for offering a job to someone currently employed and then quickly eliminating their livelihoods. Extreme manual processes because management lacks insight into technology. Unrealistic expectations. Late hours and an expectation that employees work 24/7. No appreciation for the hours being put in. When fielding complaints about work life balance the group was yelled at that they are stupid if they don’t see the opportunity of working there. CAO has also stated employees families and spouses are stupid if they don’t support them working constantly for the opportunity. Threatened to fire entire department for talking about salaries. Did not take any responsibility for allowing the salary information to be easily accessible in the system. Trash talks employees in front of their peers and in open meetings often using the words “failed” and “failures”. Employees are asked to perform meaningless and time consuming tasks and analysis so to Blackstone how “stupid Revantage” employees are. CAO is obsessed with putting the Blackstone subsidiary down to employees to prove how superior she is (most employees infer the opposite from this tactic). Current Accounting Management lacks skill set to successfully run this department and manage the “opportunity” they constantly talk about. Working for them is definitely not an opportunity, just ask the current employees.

Pros

A Blackstone portfolio company with great people and resources. So much growth to come for the company and it isn't slowing down at all. The negative comments are are so unwarrented.

Cons

None! Great place to work!
