I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (Wilmington, DE)
Interview
Got interview through campus career fair. Initially had telephonic screening(Conference call with 3 interviewers). Interviewed on one of the super days.
There were five rounds all by people working in different teams from the level of an analyst who joined 1 year ago till a director. Two of the rounds were very technical asked me many questions about quant finance(being my major). In one round one of the senior managers asked me logical puzzles and the other two were fully behavioral.
