I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (Singapur) in Feb 2015
Interview
They seem to work in relatively small teams and really seem to care that you are interested in finance, in their technology and are a good fit for the firm.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes BlackRock stand out among its competitors?
Applied online and did the virtual cover letter the next day, when we had up to 3 days to complete it. Heard back in a few days telling me that I was accepted for the first round interview, to be scheduled two days later. I completed the interview, which was very straightforward, and went over the resume and my history.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Oct 2016
Interview
Fairly quick process. One first round skype interview with basic resume and behavioral questions about team experience. Next there was a superday at BlackRock in NYC which consisted of a group case study and 4 back to back 30 minute interviews with current analysts as well as employees who had previously completed the analyst program
