3. 3Video interviewStated by BlackRockWithin five days of applying, candidates record short answers to a set of questions in one sitting, up to three minutes each, with no retakes.
4. 4First roundStated by BlackRockInterviews begin during each program's review period; the page does not describe their format.
5. 5Final roundTypicalSeveral interviews across teams, often a markets discussion and a case or short presentation.
6. 6OfferTypicalUsually within days of the final round.
