I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2019
Interview
I applied for the Software Engineering Analyst position in November (including a coding challenge and a virtual cover letter) and a couple of months later was told that my candidacy was not selected for further rounds. Around mid-April, I lucked out and was sent an e-mail by a recruiter checking if I was still available and interested for new positions that opened up in the San Francisco office. Two weeks later, I was flown to San Francisco for a 4 hour long set of interviews (2 behavioral and 2 technical). A couple of days later I was called and told I got the offer.
