I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (California City, CA) in Dec 2024
Interview
It was a really hard interview process. It was 4 rounds 30 minute interviews. 2 behavioral and 2 technical interviews. Some coding. It was a full stack position so technical was a lot of API questions.
Four interviews, forty five mins each. Met folks from different teams for their rotation program. Everyone was super smart and clearly excited about working there. Didn't end up taking the job because I decided to stay outside Chicago.
There was fitst technical round out of three round.
In my first round they asked a DSA Coding question. I do not quite remember the question that was asked, but it did not go well and was rejected.
