Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I applied through LinkedIn and received an email from the Manager after one month. The first round was a HackerRank test. This test covered many topics, including JavaScript, Java, HTML, CSS, Threads in Java, and UML Class diagrams. We also had to upload any previous written code for assignments or projects.
After some days, I got positive feedback from the Manager and was asked to schedule five video interviews. Four of these five interviews were technical. They covered topics from core Java, design questions, dynamic programming, threads, algorithms, Spring, and technologies mentioned on my resume. The last video interview was with HR, and we discussed the BlackRock business model and the position's roles and responsibilities.
After this, I was called onsite for two more rounds. The first round was technical, and the second round included both technical and HR-type questions.
Following this, I was called to set up one more video interview.
