I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Feb 2018
Interview
Through recruiter, but set up fine no issues. Hiring manager called me two weeks after and said the interviewee loved me, and she tried to follow up for another week, yet nothing happened. No news at all so moved on.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
Interview with a head receptionist and manager in a room on the main floor. They both introduced themselves first and were very conversational. Very easy interview - maybe because they were in dire need of a receptionist. On my 3rd or 4th day, my recruiter told me they wanted someone who's a fast learner. They expected me to hit the ground running within days. I recommend better training or hiring someone with senior experience.
