      Java Software Engineer Interview

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Mar 2020

      Interview

      if they like your resume then the first step is to clear the hackerrank challenge within 2 days. There were 3 questions. Two of those questions are based on data structure/algorithm and the 3rd is on Javascript. After couple of days, i was called for the onsite interview. In that interview, there were again 3 rounds (2 technical & 1 HR). One of my technical interviewer was almost 20 minutes late so I had to give him/her the answer verbally due to time limitation. After that, blackrock provided lunch and gave a general presentation. After lunch and presentation, i was called for another round of technical interview. BTW, I am writing this review just after onsite interview so i have not received any feedback from the company yet.

      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.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Mar 2024

      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.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock in Apr 2021

      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.
