I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Aug 2015
Interview
I met with a director of the specific group during the first round of interviews. During the second round of interviews, I met with a group of 5 people within the same group. These individuals ranked from associate to co-director. All of the interview questions were very fair. They asked me to specifically describe my experience in previous positions and wanted me to display a clear interest/passion for the specific industry (alternatives - real estate).

Question 1
Why specifically do you want to work within this division of the group?
First interview with direct reporting manager, followed by BD and portfolio managers. total 5-6 rounds. 30mins each.
The entire process is quite long, ie after each interview it took around a week for HR to come back and schedule another.

Interview process went pretty fast
- email from HR to confirm salary expectations, desire to leave current employer
- 1st interview with hiring manager of 30 min
- 2nd and 3rd interview with Directors of 30min each
