I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Nov 2023
Interview
three rounds, 30 minutes each. can be quite long with a lot of passing about but the interview is broken down into sections which allows for a break in between. different sectors within departments interview you so you can really gauge which specific role appeals to you. Also, as you are goign between 3 different interviewers, you may face repeat introductory questions

Wasn't too bad, mostly behavioural and standard interview questions for the hirevue. They gave loads of time to prepare which is a massive plus in my eyes. Definitely caters to all majors well.
Hirevue, asked 4 questions with unlimited prep time, all behavioral even for a somewhat technical role (Quant Analysis & Investment Risk). The unlimited preparation time was super helpful. Would recommend touching up on all behavioral questions.
