I applied through university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock in Feb 2010
Interview
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 questions [1]
Question 1
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.
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
