I applied through an employee referral. The process took 11 months. I interviewed at BlackRock
Interview
Just asked very basic fit questions - no technicals, but make sure to get a referral otherwise you're not getting an interview, they care alot about fit and if you're a good person
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Your biggest weakness, how you would be good for the role
Surprising questions that are quite different from other interviews. I don't know if that was just my personal experience. It was a HireVue and some questions caught me off guard. Overall the experience was pretty standard though.
The HireVue lasts around 30 minutes. There's 2-3 minutes to prep for each question. The process is smooth, just as any other big corporate company's video assessment. There is an introduction before you start to remind you of the guidelines and the company's values.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Difficult, talked to a GIP member, talked about behaviourals at first, then transitioned into many questions about the company (really digging deep on what you knew about BlackRock). Received some pushback on company information
