The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2010
Interview
One half hour interview with campus recruiter which lead to an onsite interview in the following week. Offer was given the next business day. The interview consisted of 4 interviewers, each asking different questions. One was purely technical, about caching and data replication. The next few were mostly behavioral questions. I talked mostly about my class projects, what my role was in the team, and also why I was interested in the company.
All the interviewers were very charismatic and had a lot to talk about regarding blackrock and their technology team.
