I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock in Nov 2020
Interview
Pretty standard. Not many technical questions, mostly behavioral. Do know exactly what they do and a couple of projects the team has worked on so you can tailor your answers to this.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Hire Vue
- “Why Blackrock”
- “Why did you choose this group”
first round interview was behavioral only. Basic questions.
“Tell us about when a team member wasn’t doing their part”
“Why Blackrock”
“where do you see yourself in 5 years?”
Final round had several 30 minute interviews with different groups. Mostly behavioral, but make sure to know about trends in the market and economy (international too) research different companies you’d be interested in investing in since you have to give a mini stock pitch.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2015
Interview
I went through one Skype interview followed by a series of 4 interviews in a row in the Toronto office. The atmosphere was fairly relaxed even though the 2 hours of non-stop interviews were demanding.
The questions were mostly behavioral, with a few technical ones but nothing too detailed. They mostly wanted to assess the fit to the job/company and the overall knowledge of the markets.
