I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BlackRock (Brooklyn, NY) in June 2011
Interview
Basic questions. The interview process was pretty straight forward. They asked basic security questions. If you know anything about information security, you will do fine. Both the phone and the in-person interview were about the same.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock
Interview
Mostly behavioral questions, not super technical. Multiple rounds including group interviews. It felt pretty efficient because I met so many members of the team. They kept me in the loop with next steps throughout the process.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BlackRock
Interview
7 rounds including a repeat with certain stakeholders. Communication with the recruiter was an awful experience. It was near impossible to get an update and instead of scheduling calls they would be random mid-day and if you missed it often had to wait days. The experience was a drag and I won't be applying again.
3 rounds of interview with multiple interviewers per round. Final round interview was with the head of business, a Managing Director. Relatively quick process end to end, took 3-4 weeks.
