The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock in Oct 2010
Interview
I was interviewed on campus. The first round was just a casual conversation with the interviewer trying to know the academic background and your interest in the company. The next round is at the company headquarters where the questions are more intense relating to the finance background.

Interview
Video interview followed by tests and first round. Interviewer was polite and cordial, and encouraged me throughout my answer. Questions were relatively easy to begin with but became more challenging as the interview went on.
mainly competency but quite a lot of coding, they need a good level of python. Nice interview, they make you feel at ease even if questions are not always the easiest!
