I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Wilmington, DE) in Feb 2019
Interview
- OA: basically converting easy math problems into program, 3 questions in total, and no time limited,
- onsite: 4 rounds, 2 technical, 1 resume, 1 behavioral; neither the technical was hard. Yet one round there were a couple of terms that I've never learned before
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about how to use thread, and design patterns in one round. The other round was about basic data structures.
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

If i gave you 1 million dollars right now what would you invest it in.
