Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oct 2010 – Reviewed Apr 8, 2011

Interview Details – I first applied online, got a call back and a phone interview, then came in to interview twice. After the second interview, I was offered the job.

Associate at BlackRock

No Offer – Interviewed in Dec 2009 – Reviewed Dec 10, 2009

Interview Details – Pretty tough but very thorough - asked a lot on market situation and were interested to know what I thought was the cause of the economic crises. A group of highly intelligent, very friendly people. Off-putting in the sense that the interviewers asked technical questions in a pretty conversational, casual manner. One thing - they take weeks to get back to you post Superday, which i thought was pretty strange for such a well-run company, but didn't get offer. The on-campus interview before that was very conversational, almost no behavioral or fit, just a casual conversation on where we both thought markets were heading and what we considered to be the future of Asset Management. Overall lots of fun but pretty stressful.
