Interview
You have to do a video Cover Letter as part of your application. This is a 5 minute video interview with only two questions, which can be answered broadly. Before the video interview starts, you get the opportunity to practice questions wich are far more difficult than the actual ones.

Question 1
Why BlackRock?
Tell me about a time you faced a challenge and how you resolved it
Too long, 5 rounds not including a recruiter screen and one panel interview with 2 people. Normal interviews but ridiculous process and the pay is not great for a trillion dollar company.
One online interview and three rounds of hirevue until an assessment centre in the offices and coding exam if applying to engineer roles in London. The interview was quite easy and straightforward; really happy with the results
