Prologis interview questions

1 first-hand experience · See open roles at Prologis

Prologis, the world's largest industrial/logistics REIT, runs a fairly standard real-estate-investing loop for corporate and investment roles: a recruiter screen, one or two interviews with the team you'd join (mix of behavioral, scenario, and REIT/industrial-property technicals), and a modeling or case exercise focused on an industrial acquisition. Take-home DCFs on real Prologis-style industrial deals (e.g. a large-bay warehouse in the Inland Empire) show up on multiple accounts. FP&A and analyst tracks lean lighter on modeling and heavier on group/panel behavioral rounds. Overall difficulty is reported as moderately high, with total timelines around 4-5 weeks.
