I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
I got a phone interview first, the question is pretty simple. It includes simple algorithm and data structure and some about the resume. And then I got the on site interview. It has 4 people, much more about the resume, some conception and simple algorithm. The algorithm part is very easy, but they like to ask some conceptions. From database to normal java conception(I told them I like to use java)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
conception is like interface and abstract class, string and string buffer.
Four interviews, forty five mins each. Met folks from different teams for their rotation program. Everyone was super smart and clearly excited about working there. Didn't end up taking the job because I decided to stay outside Chicago.
There was fitst technical round out of three round.
In my first round they asked a DSA Coding question. I do not quite remember the question that was asked, but it did not go well and was rejected.
