I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (Londres, Inglaterra) in Sep 2024
Interview
CV scanning and then onto 3 Hireview questions (pre interview assessment questions) which were similar to a virtual cover letter. Overall very typical interview questions - non technical or behavioural.

Question 1
Q: Why Blackrock?
Q: What's something about Blackrock that interests you?
Surprising questions that are quite different from other interviews. I don't know if that was just my personal experience. It was a HireVue and some questions caught me off guard. Overall the experience was pretty standard though.
The HireVue lasts around 30 minutes. There's 2-3 minutes to prep for each question. The process is smooth, just as any other big corporate company's video assessment. There is an introduction before you start to remind you of the guidelines and the company's values.

3 questions with 1 min to prepare
Could be absolutely anything - from latest news to why BlackRock
2-3 min for the answer, I wouldn't say it was straightforward, but be ready for the curious questions
