I applied through university. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
First, there was an on-campus interview 2-1, they mostly asked about my experience and why I was interested in the firm and portfolio management. Then final round at the firm that consisted of three 2-1 interviews. Again, all fit and mostly about my experiences. People were awesome and loved interning there!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Honestly, most of the questions were behavioral or about your past experiences. The only near technical question was a market question about how the economy was doing and pitch a stock.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Final Round Interview: 4x30 minutes with different team members. Mix of technical and behavioural questions. Mostly relevant to the job, but some were more classic interview questions with specific emphasis on statistics. It was not too well organised in my opinion, but I suppose the assessment was fair enough as I did not do very well. I did not receive an offer.

Question 1
What is the variance of a portfolio with two risky assets? How many points is NASDAQ100/S&P500/Stoxx600 on? How do you calculate Sortino/Sharpe Ratio?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Jan 2022
Interview
Informal interview, some technical questions but not too difficult. Seems like they're just getting a feel for you first round and then proper technicals come later in assessment days etc
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock
Interview
