I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Sep 2018
Interview
I applied online and I received a HireVue, which was fairly straightforward. There were behavioral questions, as well as a coding challenge. BlackRock cares a lot about OOP, so there was emphasis on Java specifically. I applied through the founder's scholarship process, which is why the application process took so long (they interviewed all candidates on the same day). The final round interview was incredibly straightforward, with one behavioral interview and one coding interview. I was asked to code the Fibonacci sequence (recursively and iteratively), and was asked about OOP concepts. I also had two interviews for data science roles, which I bombed. Interviewed on a Friday, and received my verbal offer the following Wednesday.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
Applied back in July 2021. Was given an online assessment with 4 days to complete- 2 coding problems and a recorded video. Heard back in September that I had been selected for the final round of interviews. Had my superday the first week of October and received an offer two weeks later.
The final round consisted of 3 1 hour interviews, the first two were technical and the last was behavioral. Super chill / easy technical questions, the difficulty of the technical questions were not up to par with what I was expecting.
