I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in May 2024
Interview
The interview process was 2 stages - the first with the hiring manager and the second was a live coding session with the Blackrock team - 2 people. The questions were similar to LeetCode or the like. Their team was very nice and pleasant to talk to, they offered a little bit of guidance throughout the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In Python, write a function to check if a given string is in the ISIN (International Securities Identification Number) format, which consists of exactly 12 characters: the first two are uppercase letters (country code), followed by nine alphanumeric characters, and ending with a single numeric check digit. Return True if the string is valid and False otherwise.
