I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Sept 2015
Interview
40 minute interview, mainly biographical going through my cv in more detail, only 1 competency question (value added service) quite informal. Interview on Friday, follow up meeting with dept head the following Thursday, call with HR the next day, and offer on the Monday. Very smooth process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mainly based around my cv. 1 competency q asked - give a time you gave a value added service.
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.
