Surprising questions that are quite different from other interviews. I don't know if that was just my personal experience. It was a HireVue and some questions caught me off guard. Overall the experience was pretty standard though.

Application
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock (Singapore) in Oct 2011
Interview
The interview was held at BlackRock at Anson Rd. Very elegant looking building with friendly staff. I was there about 15 mins early and waited for around 30-45mins, before i get to speak to the interviewer. It was a one-to-one interview and it wasn't that intimidating as i imagined it would be. No weird/tricky questions were asked, just the usual like how do you find the company, what's the company about, your strength and weakness etc.
Overall, pretty average interview experience
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How do you find the company?
2. What are your strengths and weaknesses and why should we hire you?
The HireVue lasts around 30 minutes. There's 2-3 minutes to prep for each question. The process is smooth, just as any other big corporate company's video assessment. There is an introduction before you start to remind you of the guidelines and the company's values.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Difficult, talked to a GIP member, talked about behaviourals at first, then transitioned into many questions about the company (really digging deep on what you knew about BlackRock). Received some pushback on company information
