Experience:

The overall interview process was described as generally kind and welcoming, even though the "Superday" was long. Interviews often felt like conversations, but one interviewer did not provide an opportunity for questions. There was a significant emphasis on aligning with BlackRock's values, with some interviewers explicitly stating which values they were screening for.

The initial interview was conducted on HireVue. It comprised two LeetCode-style coding questions: one medium and one easy. Specific questions mentioned as examples for BlackRock interviews include "Happy Number" (Easy, Two Pointers), "Find the Maximum Sum of Node Values" (Hard, Dynamic Programming, Greedy Algorithms, Trees, Graphs, Bit Manipulation), and "Maximum Subtree of the Same Color" (Medium).
