I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BlackRock in Jul 2014
Interview
They asked me to define CAPM, alpha, beta, Sharpe ratio. Then they asked what assumptions go into the CAPM, which assumptions may be violated in practice, and what results may not be usable as a result.
Too long, 5 rounds not including a recruiter screen and one panel interview with 2 people. Normal interviews but ridiculous process and the pay is not great for a trillion dollar company.
One online interview and three rounds of hirevue until an assessment centre in the offices and coding exam if applying to engineer roles in London. The interview was quite easy and straightforward; really happy with the results
I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (Seattle, WA)
Interview
1st round was online with 2 interviewers and 2nd round was in person with 2 other interviewers. Interview was to find out fit with the team. I was asked on financial knowledge as well as technical knowledge.
