I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Sep 2023
Interview
This interview experience is for the Virtual Cover Letter only since the first round of interviews has not begun yet. So I indicated that I got an offer and accepted so more people will look at this response for help. Hirevue was very smooth and straightforward. When you press begin, the video explains what to expect, and you have the option to do a practice question or skip it. Practice question is not saved and no one will see it. The preparation time for each question is 3 minutes and each response is 1.5 minutes.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Jun 2026
Interview
The Hirevue questions were all behavioral, no tell me about yourself or why blackrock. Questions were pretty simple. Prepare a financial news story you are following because they will ask you that.
Hireview is preparation and then one time recording, which is from memory 3 minutes long. There was only 3 questions for me and most of it related to the role instead of purely just asking why blackrock or why this role.
