I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in June 2016
Interview
They asked to solve hackerRank test. Completed and recruiter directly called onsite saying I did hackerRank pretty well and they are skipping phone screening. Onsite 1 week later. 4 rounds all technical. Data Structure questions. Average level questions. Nothing unsolvable, simple yet requires in depth understanding of data structure in Java. Final round of onsite was a bit trickier. Was asked programming puzzle, was a bit different type of problem. Interviewer helped me solve the problem, then finally understood the problem type. Barring that problem, was able to solve more or less all other questions. All interviewers very helpful and pretty good. Overall Nice experience.
But on downside, haven't got any reply yet, been 10 days already.No reply to follow-up email either. At least, they should give some feedback after they invite for onsite. Took a day off. So, pretty disappointed.

Question 1
Questions related to array/string manipulations, recursion, Puzzle was a bit unexpected.
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.
