Submitted my application for the summer internship program, attaching only my CV, through their website and I got an automated email right after that said to complete a video interview within a few days.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two standard interview questions and you have time to prepare.
Hirevue - comprised of 6 questions. Very little focus on behaviourals, mainly focused on why Blackrock, values of Blackrock, competitors, why this division, etc. One technical question was asked about your selected division, the question was "Explain a technical concept relating to the division you're applying to in simple words".

Question 1
Why Blackrock, what separates Blackrock from its competitors?
The first stage involved submitting a CV and answering usual questions about grades etc on an online form. You then had to answer 3 questions via video recording. The question would come up, you’d have a few minutes to prepare, and then the time would start.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Oct 2025
