I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Aug 2020
Interview
The interview was not very bad. It was less than I expected. I expected it to be harder than it was. I did a lot of research on BlackRock before applying. The questions were asked only once, with a three minute time to prepare. Answer the question in 2 minutes, then it's automatically saved. The coding questions could be done at different time within the 96 hrs time frame.

Interview
Virtual Interview
4 different coding exercises in java: binary trees, find the smallest sum of consecutive numbers in arrays, implement an equation that is given (need to understand what the equation's variables represent given an example and its result )
This virtual interview is timed but you are able to exit and continue at your own pace.
After you submit the coding you are asked a question about the company. 5 mins to prepare and 90 seconds recording (one time only).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2017
Interview
The application interview was through HireVue. You were recorded during the whole process. First, there were 4 fairly complex programming questions that involved algorithms and reading from a file. Second, you were to record yourself answering a question "What qualities make you fit for this position?" or something along those lines.
I was offered an interview in person for October 12 so I will see how that goes.
