I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BlackRock in Feb 2025
Interview
There were multiple rounds of back to back interviews online. The final round had two interviewers per session. The questions were pretty straight forward and typical of an interview. Interviewers were very kind, but they had little knowledge of the hiring process for the role. Very poor communication from multiple HR members too.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you describe stocks and bonds to a middle school student?
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.
