I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Sep 2012
Interview
Submit my resume on campus. Received an interview in two or three weeks on campus. Most of them are technical questions. I was asked to implement a simple binary search method and asked some other basic questions about data structures, eg. hashmap, array, linked list. Also why blackrock? The manager was very nice however I wasn't picked up for 2nd round interview. Quick to hear from them and it's within one week.
Four interviews, forty five mins each. Met folks from different teams for their rotation program. Everyone was super smart and clearly excited about working there. Didn't end up taking the job because I decided to stay outside Chicago.
There was fitst technical round out of three round.
In my first round they asked a DSA Coding question. I do not quite remember the question that was asked, but it did not go well and was rejected.
