I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
First round interview over zoom: divided in two 30 min sessions with two different interviewers. About 6 question per interview slot. Mainly focused on behavioural questions with only a few technical questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you explain what an ETF is in simple terms?
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.

Could be absolutely anything - from latest news to why BlackRock
2-3 min for the answer, I wouldn't say it was straightforward, but be ready for the curious questions
