I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Sep 2021
Interview
I've summitted my CV and was asked to do a virtual cover letter (hirevue) . I think it was 90s per question and a minue or two to prepare. It took quite a long time to hear back. Overall, I'd say the process was relatively easy.

Question 1
Why BlackRock?
Tell me about a time you faced a challenge and how you resolved it
Too long, 5 rounds not including a recruiter screen and one panel interview with 2 people. Normal interviews but ridiculous process and the pay is not great for a trillion dollar company.
One online interview and three rounds of hirevue until an assessment centre in the offices and coding exam if applying to engineer roles in London. The interview was quite easy and straightforward; really happy with the results
