I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in July 2020
Interview
It was an online interview, I have participated in the first round. I was asked to answer two questions after the preparation time passed. The questions were behavioral ones, but you still need to know company's news and industry insights.

Question 1
What news have you recently read about our company?
Hirevue, asked 4 questions with unlimited prep time, all behavioral even for a somewhat technical role (Quant Analysis & Investment Risk). The unlimited preparation time was super helpful. Would recommend touching up on all behavioral questions.
Great experience. Basic questions. They were super friendly but super smart. Few questions about current affairs and its implications. Got back in a week. Writing definitely recommend. Although I’ll prepare from current affairs they’re not too familiar with to show breath.

Question 1
What’s a current affairs topic interesting to you. How does it affect Blackrock
Timed HireVue consisting of three questions. Typical motivational and personal questions such as Why Blackrock and this division, and something you have read about recently. Was standard difficulty in comparison to other similar roles
