I applied through university. I interviewed at BlackRock
Interview
Submit a virtual cover letter. This included getting in front of the computer screen and recording why I wanted to work at BlackRock as an Advisory & Strategy - Client Solutions - Intern. After I submitted the video and my application I heard back 2 months later from BlackRock. I was informed that they would not move forward with my application.

Question 1
Why do you want to work at BlackRock as an Advisory & Strategy - Client Solutions - Intern
Horrible! Received an invitation for the video interview on a Friday, prepared all weekend and got a regret email late sunday before starting my interview. Turns out they put me through by mistake...
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Milan) in Nov 2015
Interview
After CV screening, I was invited to record a short interview online. I was asked to answer three pre-recorded questions. I was given 30 seconds to prepare the question and 2 minutes to answer. Questions were not too specific.
