I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock in Jul 2024
Interview
The first technical round lasted 45 minutes—15 minutes were spent discussing my resume, followed by 30 minutes of data structures and algorithms. The interviewer was quite rude and dismissive, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Despite completing the round, the recruiter completely ghosted me with no follow-up or feedback. This lack of professionalism and communication reflects poorly on the company's culture, which appears toxic and disrespectful of candidates' time. Would not recommend.

Question 1
Why Blackrock? What's something about you that's not on your CV?
The interview consisted of solving a data science case study, where your approach was assessed. I got the optimal approach right of the bat, and the interviewer said the same. Didn't hear back from them regarding next steps, when I contacted them they said that they had hired someone else for the role.
