Effram E. Kaplan and Andrew K. Petryk, who serve as Co-Chief Executive Officers at BGL, expressed their pride in the accolade stating, "Earning recognition from Vault for a second consecutive year—and rising to #2 from #9—reflects the strength of BGL's culture and the long-term perspective and collaborative approach that guide our firm. We believe strongly in investing in people, giving interns and junior professionals meaningful experiences, hands-on learning, and opportunities to grow. This recognition is particularly meaningful because it is based on feedback from the interns who experienced the program firsthand."

The Summer Analyst Program at BGL runs over nine weeks, giving participants exposure and knowledge through a combination of technical training, mentorship opportunities, a competitive case challenge, and access to real-time deal work spanning various industries. These sectors include Consumer, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Industrials, Infrastructure, Services, Technology, and Real Estate. BGL's comprehensive approach ensures that these interns are well-equipped with a deep understanding of the financial services landscape.

In light of its continuous growth and sector expansion, the Summer Analyst Program serves a vital role in BGL's long-term talent planning. Impressively, over the past three years, BGL has recorded a remarkable offer acceptance rate of 94%. Many of the firm's interns transition into full-time analyst positions, allowing BGL to cultivate a new generation of talent that supports the firm’s ongoing growth objectives.

As the upcoming recruiting season commences, BGL's Campus Recruiting team is set to launch an Emerging Leaders Webinar Series.
