The interview was a very tight one. It started with the first round of interviews which went for around 30 mins, after which some were called for another round of technical interviews. The second round of interviews went on for about 1 hrs 15 mins. It consisted a lot of technical questions. After these technical interviews, the shortlisted candidates were called for the HR interviews.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2020
Interview
All-day interview with 2 stages. First was a 3-piece gauntlet with code review, system design and leetcode mediums. Second stage was interviews with matching teams for passers.
Personally I did not like the recruiters' tone, which was a bit condescending and validated my fears reading others describing the company with engineers being treated as second-class citizens.
At one point I was dropped in a meeting room waiting near an hour for a call. I was ready to get up and leave just before a recruiter came in unapologetically to see if I wanted to talk to another person. I said yes and after another 10 minutes of sitting it was over without ceremony.
Got verbal offer by recruiter 'being blunt' and saying I should request less due to my 'lack of experience' before giving a range with me agreeing on the top end of it. Radio silence afterwards as company went into a covid freeze
