I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
Application sent off at the beginning of September, simple and quick application form.
Invited to online automated interview over a month later.
I prepared as if it was a real interview, turned out was over preparation. They asked 3 simple questions about Blackrock, University and You.
Questions 30 secs to prepare your answer and 1.5 minutes to answer.
Still waiting to hear.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Blackrock, and the division you have applied for?
1 phone interview - recruiter asked me after to send her my availability and she never gotten back to me. waste of time, followed up with her like 4 times.
three rounds, phone screen by managers, on site 1 hour, task 1 hour, final round 1 hour. technical and behaviour both, hard, tension. good experience, but stressed period.good culture, good development.
I had one superday of 4 interviews. Questions were mostly behavioral. Tons of variations on the main behavioral questions. One technical question but it was very light technical. No live problem solving. Felt more like a vibe check.
