I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock in Oct 2008
Interview
This was my first interview since I entered MBA program. No experience, so failed. Here are some lessons:
1. Familiar with your resume. They will ask many detailed questions about it.
2. Some general questions like "Describe a time that you suffered most."
3. About market information. like "Describe a piece of news that you read. How you think abou it?"
4. Know the company well. Do your homework.
There are 2 panels altogether. The first one is harsh (attitude). The second one is nice.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe a piece of news that you read today or yesterday. How do you think about it?
1 phone interview - recruiter asked me after to send her my availability and she never gotten back to me. waste of time, followed up with her like 4 times.
three rounds, phone screen by managers, on site 1 hour, task 1 hour, final round 1 hour. technical and behaviour both, hard, tension. good experience, but stressed period.good culture, good development.
I had one superday of 4 interviews. Questions were mostly behavioral. Tons of variations on the main behavioral questions. One technical question but it was very light technical. No live problem solving. Felt more like a vibe check.
