I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Oct 2009
Interview
Pretty much straight forward finance interview. A lot of behavioral and fit questions considering it was a firmwide analyst hire. Got the interview through a resume drop to the college career center. one-to-one interviews. Though I thought the interview was very conversational, the interviewer wasn't very interested in what I have to say about my resume, which kind of set me off a bit. Other than that, I have heard that the firm is very horizontal in structure and diverse in academic sense.
three rounds, phone screen by managers, on site 1 hour, task 1 hour, final round 1 hour. technical and behaviour both, hard, tension. good experience, but stressed period.good culture, good development.
I had one superday of 4 interviews. Questions were mostly behavioral. Tons of variations on the main behavioral questions. One technical question but it was very light technical. No live problem solving. Felt more like a vibe check.
probably the most traumatizing and awful experience of my life. the most unprofessional recruiter and a horrible process overall. I genuinely will never be applying here ever again. Everybody lied and gaslit me then ultimately ghosted me after an almost three month long process. If you weren't actually looking to hire... DON'T PUT UP THE JOB POSTING.
