Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience

August 9, 2018

Negative ExperienceGot Offer

Process

I applied for the Fast Track to Fin-Tech. The process consisted of an online application with coding and behavioral questions.

Following the application, there was a phone interview. Candidates were then invited to their San Francisco offices.

They took a very long time to get back to me, and by then, I had already accepted another offer.

Questions

There were 3 online coding questions that were not timed. You had up until the application due date to complete them.

Why did you choose Blackrock, and why do you think you are a good fit here? (Something along those lines)

Pros: Good work-life balance (if you’re an efficient and good developer). Compensation & Health benefit (Additional retirement fund on top of CPF if meet criteria + education reimbursement). Unlimited paid leaves (FTO). Awesome people and strong engineering culture (seriously one of the major pros). Hackathon is taken very seriously (history: one of the hackathon ideas became a significant business).

Cons: Nitpick: As compared to some hedge funds, crypto firms, and tech companies, there are no free meals provided. Work-from-home equipment support could be better.
