I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at BlackRock in Mar 2023
Interview
The interview process is fairly standard. There would be a panel of interviewers. I went through 2 technical rounds, both of which were quite grilling. They ask a variety of questions based on your work experience/field of study. Basic questions about the firm, like the services provided, the senior management are also asked.

How can you assure us that you are looking to stay here if accepted for a long term basis. Alternate investment questions: 1. What are swaps? 2. What is swap reset, unwind? 3. What is swap financing? 4. Journal entries related to accruals, prepaid, corporate actions, and capital activities. 5.NAV calculations. 6. Hurdle, incentive, management fee calculations
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
