I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Apr 2021
Interview
Applied online, got contacted by a recruiter a few days later. Had 4 back to back interviews with people in the team. Got an offer a week after. The recruiter was super responsive and made the process very easy.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at BlackRock (Sydney) in May 2025
Interview
I did an HR phone screening, it was nothing much, just asked general questions (like background)
Then I got the interview in person. It was quite easy, not too pressured
The interviewers told me what the job was about, what their roles were, etc.
At the end, they provided me a feedback: I don't have direct experience in the financial industry (so would you invite me in to this round)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself
Why do you want to work in finance industry
Do you have any experience in financial industry
Worst HR I’ve ever dealt with. Extremely slow. My whole application process took over 6months. The colleagues were understanding and I ended up contacting the hiring manager over linkedin as HR were unresponsive about interview results.

Question 1
The chances of rolling an even number on a 6 sided dice
I applied online and received an invitation to complete a Hirevue screening. The screening consisted of two questions. First, why do you want to join BlackRock. And second, tell us something about yourself that we can't get from your resume.
