I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2015
Interview
2x30 min interviews. Wasn't very competency based, more about what BlackRock does. I expected it to be less technical but since they did push for technical answers I messed up. The rest was CV based and they asked what I did in my down time. Both sides pretty much asked same questions. They note down any key words relating to BlackRock that you mention.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
First round of analyst program, it consisted 2 rounds of 30-40mins individual interviews with people on the team. The first interview was more of behaviorals and the second one was more of technicals. However, both touched on telling stories about your background and things related to your resume
