I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at BlackRock in Oct 2023
Interview
After getting through Insight Accelerator & HireVue, the interview was overall straightforward. The interviewer was trying to get to know you as a person both character and skillset-wise. The interviewer was 2 person, both came from a junior (1-2 years of experience) position and was knowledgeable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Overall programming experience and how did you acquire those skillsets.
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.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Difficult, talked to a GIP member, talked about behaviourals at first, then transitioned into many questions about the company (really digging deep on what you knew about BlackRock). Received some pushback on company information
