No Offer – Interviewed in Toronto, ON (Canada) Mar 2013 – Reviewed Mar 15, 2013
Interview Details First on-campus interview. The interviewer was really friendly and energetic. Got invited to super day at the Toronto office. Overall no really tough questions. BlackRock really values the 'fit', so make sure to study up on their corporate values and prepare for 2 hours of behaviour questions and some mini case studies during super day.

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Feb 2010 – Reviewed Mar 06, 2013
Interview Details After resume drop, I received an invitation to an on campus interview. The interviewer was from the local office, though the position was for the NY office. The questions were all behavioral, no technical questions. I had applied to an internship posting for their IR team but ended up with an offer to join a different team.
Interview Question – There were no unexpected or difficult questions. The interviewer first asked me if I knew BLK was not a bank--I think they're used to stupid college kids who don't know what BLK is. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation.

No Offer – Interviewed in San Francisco, CA (US) Feb 2011 – Reviewed Mar 31, 2011
Interview Details First interview was on-campus. Questions included "why blackrock" and "walk me through a dcf." Second round was at their San Francisco office, consisting of four rounds. Questions were varied. There were brainteasers, strict technical questions (what is convexity? why is it important?), questions on market currents (what is QE? what is it supposed to be doing to the bond market/economy? what is actually occurring?) , theoretical questions on economics, current events (interview took place during Tunisia/Egypt uprisings) , and very specific questions about where certain indices were at (Dow Jones/S&P/etc).
Interview Question – What is convexity? How is it calculated? What does it tell you? Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY (US) Feb 2011 – Reviewed Feb 08, 2011
Interview Details Had a one on one interview at my schools career center. Pretty standard questions to assess fit and to determine interest in finance. Never felt intimidated or lacking in knowledge with the questions. Interview was 30 minutes but it seemed very short. Not a single question that was unexpected or I was unprepared for.
Interview Question – What are some current events that might have an impact on the markets? Answer Question

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY (US) May 2008 – Reviewed Apr 14, 2010
Interview Details I was a referral. They called me in and spoke to me one on one, then the rest of the group came in to speak with me. It was a normal interview with basic questions. I've heard that they do very technical interviews otherwise though. I would offer all other candidates to study their technicals and be ready to get grilled. The culture is very tense and everyone is on the verge of going off on the next person.
