I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
2 rounds of interviews:
1st round: Two webcam based 30 minute long interviews with two different interviewers.
At that stage, both interviewers asked more or less the same questions. Their questions were mainly regarding my education, my previous work experience as well as my international exposure. The style of these 1st round interviews was rather casual.
2nd round: Assessment center on location (London). Three separate 30 minute interviews and one 20 minute numerical aptitude test.
Surprisingly, there were almost no repeat questions in these three separate 1:1 interviews, all of them were interesting.

Question 1
All types of questions were featured: Questions about my CV, education and work experience, as well as some technical and behavioral questions. Most of them were fairly standard though.
Some examples:
Q: Why are you interested in finance? Tell me about a recent development in the financial world.
Q: Tell me about a situation in which you had to work as part of a team. What role did you take in that instance?

HR reached out to me after a successful virtual cover letter, and booked my an interview with one of the team's analysts. The analyst was really nice and the interview wasn't at all technical, more kind of getting to know me.
