I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY)
Interview
Mostly fit interviews, few technical questions. Need to demonstrate willingness to learn about markets and a strong professional network can help in the interview process. Need to show teamwork skills and willingness to do the "dirty" work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me a brief market update. What would you do if I gave you 1M USD?
6 rounds of interviews
First 2 with hiring managers
3rd with Global head of Business group.
4th with functional manager from another region
5th COO of local country
6th and last with HR
The experience is decent except that one of the session was at 7pm at the local office but there were no receptionist, no one to help me access the meeting room not any instructions. There happened to be someone working late and leaving the office that noticed me at the door.
Apart from this, the overall experience was fine. Nothing special or bad.

Question 1
Why should we hire you and how do you think you stand out from the other candidates?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BlackRock (Londres, Angleterre) in Apr 2021
Interview
Long interview process 6rounds), meeting the whole team. Team interviews were good, people sharing about the job and what is expected from the candidate. HR/recruitment process was a huge mess. Recruiter took long time to come back, poor communication and process was very unclear. Overall due to poor HR process, getting the offer took much longer than excepted.
