I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Feb 2010
Interview
The interview was held on campus and consisted of general behavioral questions, followed by some more specific questions, followed by questions on current events, followed by the opportunity to ask the interviewer any questions. The interviewer was standoffish, stoic, and seemed to be annoyed that he had to be there. It almost made you not want the internship.
Hireview is preparation and then one time recording, which is from memory 3 minutes long. There was only 3 questions for me and most of it related to the role instead of purely just asking why blackrock or why this role.
Interview question is straightforward, mostly is you need to describe detailed on behavioural questions, such as what will you do in certain situations, and your opinions on certain topics, you will be given 2 mins to prepare before the recording start
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you have to make a data-driven decision
Started off with Hirevue, then proceeded to first round of interview, which was two separate sessions. After that, waited for about a month, then got the final round of interview.
