I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Jul 2025
Interview
Start with a Hirevue. If you don't have an in or know someone its basically impossible to get past the Hirevue. Be prepared with knowledge about current events and Blackrock specific news.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you do to stay updated on latest financial news.
Hirevue, asked 4 questions with unlimited prep time, all behavioral even for a somewhat technical role (Quant Analysis & Investment Risk). The unlimited preparation time was super helpful. Would recommend touching up on all behavioral questions.
Great experience. Basic questions. They were super friendly but super smart. Few questions about current affairs and its implications. Got back in a week. Writing definitely recommend. Although I’ll prepare from current affairs they’re not too familiar with to show breath.

Question 1
What’s a current affairs topic interesting to you. How does it affect Blackrock
Timed HireVue consisting of three questions. Typical motivational and personal questions such as Why Blackrock and this division, and something you have read about recently. Was standard difficulty in comparison to other similar roles
