I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (Princeton, NJ)
Interview
I was granted an interview through a campus recruiting system. I went to the Princeton office and interviewed with members of each desk in half hour sessions. The interviews were very relaxed and they asked mostly behavioral questions. It was a great experience overall.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing was very difficult, but know about current market trends.
When I made my application I had to do a virtual cover letter with some questions that included why this company and tell us about yourself. It was quite a basic pre recorded interview and I had 1 minute to prepare for each question.
On campus interview. The questions were pretty standard and a few mental math questions. Nothing out of the blue
