Application
I interviewed at BlackRock (Seattle, WA)
Interview
2 rounds, not too hard. First round was introductory. Last round was a skills test along with questions about past experience. All in all not incredibly difficult. Every position is different obviously, this was for a contract role.

Question 1
Excel skills and advanced skills working with large data sets
phone interview by HR person followed by interview by team members. Questions from team members were mainly behavioral and lasted for an hour. This was followed by an Excel test which was of average difficulty. The team member assessed me on the basis of how I assessed myself without even looking at my test file.
