      Java Software Engineer Interview

      May 10, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      Online test- cleared then got invite to attend Hiring event. Disorganized process. I wasn't aware how many rounds I have to face, neither was I informed before what to expect.Candidates much at least be informed on how many rounds. My resume was uploaded into the website 1 year ago so it was older resume and recruiter didn't even bother to ask for an updated resume. So, on super day interviewers had hard time understanding my work experience. And, one interviewers also started mocking on my work-experience. It was awkward when in interview room, I was asked if I had a paper+pen to write answers, common when you call a candidate at least keep all these things handy. Out of 4 only 2 interviewers were clear with what they want to ask me. The other two kept on flipping question without giving me enough time to even speak. One interviewer started babbling about himself for 25 mins in a 45 mins interview and then asked me to code anything I know and this was so vague to me. At least when you call a candidate you should be prepared about what questions needs to be asked to the candidate. They don't pay for travel thats ok but when someone has given time and effort to come onsite, such unprepared interviewers just ruin the essence of interview high the process must be made more organized and please let smart interviewers take an interview. I would highly recommend that interviewers must be trained on how to take an interview because it was so weird. Even if I would be selected I would think 10 times before accepting offer after facing such type of interview process. Tips to candidates: Leet code easy+medium must be enough to crack it, but from what I appeared I believe they already make up their minds as to whom to hire and just call others for name sake. Make sure you know all on your resume. Total 4 rounds - 1:1 Know little bit about company+values. Go thru basic problem solving + algorithms.

      Hasta 8 entrevistas todas iguales, algunos entrevistadores muestran 0 interés en tu experiencia y solo se centran en qué resuelvas ejercicios tipo Leetcode. Aunque pasé todas las entrevistas técnicas y resolví todos los ejercicios no quedé seleccionado. No pierdan su tiempo con ellos si no quedan seleccionados en las primeras 2-3 entrevistas, no hay feedback y no contestan los correos.

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Edimburgo, Escocia) in Mar 2024

      Interview

      Applied online. Straight into a technical interview with 2 engineers. The first half of the interview comprised of some Java-related questions (Strings, OOP, polymorphism), and the second half was a small coding task. The second interview was another technical interview with a couple of engineering managers. This one was more of an in-depth conversation about my experience and skills.

      I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock in Apr 2021

      Interview

      I got a Hackerrank Coding challenge(3 Programming questions) which I finished on the weekend and sent back. They were happy and scheduled a programming interview with a VP who was so unprofessional . First off, he came 10 mins late telling he was in the middle of a production issue and he can give me more than 30 mins to complete the programming challenge. I took 35 mins to complete. He was dead silence all through the interview. He was working on the production issue and not paying any attention to the interview at all. I kept asking him to ask any question if something is unclear. He didn't ask a single question. At the end he mentioned that he made up for the late start by giving me the five extra minutes. I passed all the test cases and the next day they mention they are not moving ahead with my candidacy. I am not sure what the reason would be when the interviewer didn't even pay attention to the interview. What a waste of time. I spent a total of 3 hours. The HR was good so my review is not for the Organisation as such.
