I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Dec 2019
Interview
2 part interview process. The interviewers were very accommodating, professional but friendly. It was quite informal and no technical questions. But they did go through all of my experience quite thoroughly.
