I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
30 minute phone interview with basic questions around resume and one quick stock pitch. Second round was rotational interviews at BlackRock's offices with 6 member of the team ranging from junior analysts to portfolio managers. Interviews included resume questions, stocks pitches, technical questions, and brain teasers/in-room analysis. Everyone were friendly, but asked difficult questions.
