FP&A Analyst

Applied on LinkedIn and heard back from a recruiter two days later. Had a scheduled phone interview with the recruiter where I was asked the standard tell me about yourself, why BlackRock, and had a few behavioral questions where they wanted to gauge how I work. One question I can remember was tell me how you communicate difficult ideas. Built some good rapport with the interviewer and heard back that same say to schedule an in person interview the following week. This is where things got shakey... My advise, really read and map out the job responsibilities because from my experience, positions weren't accurately described. So had the first in person interview with one associate and two directors. Really nice people, but thought my responsibilities would be slightly more corporate strategy focused and less data entry/preparing reports for business partners. Expressed this during the interview and was given a referral to their corporate HQ for an in person interview with 5 associates (30 minutes each). Challenging interview - pretty fast paced, and was caught off guard because yet again the job positing did not accurately express the job description. Nonetheless, really need to have your story and why BlackRock down cold. The associates love this company, view it as a start up, and you should share this enthusiasm. After 5 interviews, 1 of which was technical and 1 consulting based - figured I'd never hear from them again. After 3-weeks was asked to take a 4-hour skills test and still haven't heard back...
