Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
They came to school for info session, then I applied online. After about a month, I was invited for a phone interview. It wasn't good timing for me. I was thinking of postponing it after my traveling back to the States. But it was at the risk of my opportunity being taken by others. It was an easy interview, starting with some behavioral questions, like why BlackRock, what BlackRock does, why software engineer, etc. Then I was asked some questions about my resume, a project, and some experience. Then data structures, C++, and Java. Finally, a coding problem.

- 1.0Total compensation is depressingly lowSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesAugust 14, 2021Pros: - Good work-life balance in engineering. - Unlimited PTO, which is mostly respected in engineering teams.Cons: Pay is embarrassingly low. Everyone knows it: HR, your colleagues, higher-ups. It affects motivation everywhere. Why work hard if we're being massively underpaid? Associate/VP engineers make LESS than new grads at tech companies. Imagine that!
- 3.0Analyst Program is unhelpfulSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJanuary 11, 2025Pros: 2 years of safety. You are extremely unlikely to get laid off during your time as a SWE in the analyst program.Cons: Because you rotate every 6 months, you don't develop any strong skill sets. By the time you get a final placement, your team is decided by the business needs rather than your preferences.
