I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Feb 2014
Interview
Was in 3 stages: First was relaxed, with tell me about yourself and what you have done. This was followed by a run through by the interviewer of Blackrock and the department daily process; 2nd stage was competency questions and a few on financial products. Last was with HR
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Loads of competency questions. What do you know about swaps?
