I applied online. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Very pleasant. Everyone was really friendly and they made me feel comfortable. Most of the questions were on the current industry trends. It felt more like a conversation and not really an interview.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
Online video, weekend superday. Very nice people and there wasn't a lot of difficult quantitative questions. It was formal but doing back to back interviews can be very tiring. Make sure you know a lot about the firm and what it does. You may do a team execise.
On campus interview followed by on site interview with four 30min interviews. Nothing too tricky, wanted to learn more about markets, what was on my resume, asked some fixed income questions and a brain teaser.
