I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at BlackRock in Sept 2017
Interview
Contacted by the Head of Recruiting team via email & subsequently via tele call. Shared my details & relevant experience being a PM in fintech space. The discussion went very well & follow up call with Senior PM / Hiring Manger was scheduled. The 2nd call with the hiring manager lasted 1 hour and I was able to answer all questions satisfactorily. I was told to wait on the next steps from the recruiting team - been 3 weeks but there's been no response despite follow up.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Related to previous experience & how I got interested in becoming a PM, Specifics and examples of working with engineering team and on customer problems.
Got a job offer but role got cancelled during to internal hiring freeze. Waste of time and efforts having to go through 4 rounds of interview and given an offer but got cancelled a week later. Be aware if you are applying to this firm now.
the talent person that was looking after the hire was supposed to call me before the first round and reached out saying she was going to call me after the interview. This was done in loop for every step until she totally ghosted me and sent an automated rejection. Only when confronting her she shared the feedback saying they have finished the first round just now, while the automation email stated they filled the position. I don't think the company wants to deliver this type of candidate experience I strictly believe these people want to get some sort of revenge out of dating experiences. I won't apply again to roles she looks after and suggest you to have at least a second email to contact while being in the process.
