Completed an accelerator, which was supposed to fast track you to the first round interviews. It is the same process as a normal application. 1. Submit application and cv 2. Virtual cover letter (video interview) answering two questions (why did you apply to blackrock, tell us something unique that’s not on your resume) 3. First round interview 30 min each with 2 teams which asked questions based on the blackrock principles 4. Final round interview, 2x30 min interviews with 2 members of the team you were selected for. Very simple questions also based on the principles, then about 15 min to ask questions at the end. Overall my interview process was very drawn out 1 August 22: Applied for accelerator program start Oct 22: received invite for accelerator mid October: first round interviews (heard back 2 weeks later inviting me to final rounds) start November: final round interviews And 2 months later I haven’t received feedback on my interviews. It seems there’s a hiring freeze but it would be appreciated if they could communicate that with the applicants. I spent a lot of time interviewing, networking and preparing to basically be ignored by the company whilst they’re giving out other offers.
