I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
After completing the online test, I was asked to take a pre-recorded interview. In the pre-recorded interview, they had two questions which were quite straightforward. For each question, you have 2 minutes to think and 1.5 minutes to answer. I applied for the programme analyst in two different sectors had thus had two pre-recorded interviews. However, both asked the same questions.
