I applied for a position at BlackRock in early October. A month later, I received an email from the recruiter inviting me to the first interview with the hiring manager, which went well. Another month later, the recruiter contacted me for two back-to-back interviews: one focused on Java and distributed systems, and the other a coding round. Both of these interviews went smoothly. A week after completing those, I was invited to a final interview with the director, which also went well. However, it has now been a month since that final interview, and I haven’t received any updates. I followed up with the recruiter two weeks after the interview but never got a response. While I understand I may not have been selected, it would have been professional and considerate for a company like BlackRock to communicate a decision or at least provide a status update. Going through multiple rounds of interviews takes significant time and effort, and being left in the dark afterward feels disappointing and unprofessional. Even a brief email saying the process is still ongoing would have made a difference. This experience has negatively impacted my perception of BlackRock. I had high expectations for the company’s culture, but this lack of communication doesn’t align with those expectations. I hope BlackRock reflects on the candidate experience and ensures better communication, respecting the time and effort of those who engage in its hiring process.

There was no HR interview only tehnical intreview, Interviewer were really shay and if they ask question they will not follow up for example I say if I I will sort string character then make string then check hash to see if they are anagram They ask me what you mean hash? Like what I mean hash I start talking about hash and how it function in Java after that there was awkward silence. Without any follow ups, like it's was correct or not
