I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Londres, Inglaterra) in Apr 2020

Very smooth interview process and all interviewers were extremely friendly and helpful. First two interviews with analysts were 30mins each and mostly competency based. Some questions about tech.
