Interview
The first round was a HackerRank test that had to be completed in Java. The second round was an onsite hiring event at BlackRock in San Francisco, where many candidates were being interviewed at the same time. I had about 5 rounds of interviews with a presentation break in the middle. The rounds varied in technicality with some being purely behavioral, some were domain knowledge interviews, and one or two were coding questions.

Interview
Hasta 8 entrevistas todas iguales, algunos entrevistadores muestran 0 interés en tu experiencia y solo se centran en qué resuelvas ejercicios tipo Leetcode. Aunque pasé todas las entrevistas técnicas y resolví todos los ejercicios no quedé seleccionado. No pierdan su tiempo con ellos si no quedan seleccionados en las primeras 2-3 entrevistas, no hay feedback y no contestan los correos.

Interview
Applied online. Straight into a technical interview with 2 engineers. The first half of the interview comprised of some Java-related questions (Strings, OOP, polymorphism), and the second half was a small coding task.
The second interview was another technical interview with a couple of engineering managers. This one was more of an in-depth conversation about my experience and skills.

Interview
I got a Hackerrank Coding challenge(3 Programming questions) which I finished on the weekend and sent back. They were happy and scheduled a programming interview with a VP who was so unprofessional . First off, he came 10 mins late telling he was in the middle of a production issue and he can give me more than 30 mins to complete the programming challenge. I took 35 mins to complete. He was dead silence all through the interview. He was working on the production issue and not paying any attention to the interview at all. I kept asking him to ask any question if something is unclear. He didn't ask a single question. At the end he mentioned that he made up for the late start by giving me the five extra minutes. I passed all the test cases and the next day they mention they are not moving ahead with my candidacy. I am not sure what the reason would be when the interviewer didn't even pay attention to the interview.
What a waste of time. I spent a total of 3 hours. The HR was good so my review is not for the Organisation as such.
