Very comprehensive as a process, including both senior professionals as well as peers. Multiple perspectives on the candidate, and regular communication back to the candidate. Helped gauge the fit on both sides.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Good combination of Technical as well as soft skills
I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Dec 2020
Interview
4 rounds including case study. Comprehensive and thorough. HR will let you know if they like you and will describe next steps in detail so you're never guessing what will be next or how long they'll take to get back which is a burning question if you're in the seat of wanting to find a job.
The overall process was incredibly professional and streamlined; each interviewer was able to connect with me and display their passion for working there in an authentic way.
Getting the offer was the most exciting part! They will amp you up and get you pumped to be part of the team.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at BlackRock
Interview
Had 4 rounds of interview
Was interviewed for their advisory team. 3 rounds of technical interviews focusing on my prior Banking background and questions on valuation, fixed income concepts and SQL.
Final and fourth round with a Director was more behavioral.
Overall a smooth and responsive process
