I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Oct 2014
Interview
started with a call from HR and then a phone call with the hiring manager. And then a super day of about 6 interviewers. And then another call with the department head. And then another, less formal interview with senior team members. Finally, a offer call from HR.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
know about the company and its products. Understand capital markets and asset classes.
1 phone interview - recruiter asked me after to send her my availability and she never gotten back to me. waste of time, followed up with her like 4 times.
three rounds, phone screen by managers, on site 1 hour, task 1 hour, final round 1 hour. technical and behaviour both, hard, tension. good experience, but stressed period.good culture, good development.
I had one superday of 4 interviews. Questions were mostly behavioral. Tons of variations on the main behavioral questions. One technical question but it was very light technical. No live problem solving. Felt more like a vibe check.
