I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BlackRock (London, England) in Nov 2012
Interview
I sent a CV through by email to their recruiting HR address. I was then invited for a first session of 2x30 minute interviews. The first one was a technical interview which focused mostly on my CV and asking about the kind of software projects i have been involved with in the past. Following this discussion i was asked how i would apply my background to solve some problems within the business. The second interview was a combination of HR and ability. I was asked a couple of basic Financial Questions. We then talked about the teamwork and other basic HR things.

Interview
I applied through the university. First, you will need to take an online test that is intensive and lengthy. This test covers various topics, including coding, object-oriented programming (OOP), SQL, database management systems (DBMS), computer networks (CN), reasoning, and mathematics. After the initial screening, selected candidates will proceed to one technical interview followed by an HR interview. During the interviews, the discussion typically starts with a review of your resume for about 10 to 15 minutes, followed by SQL questions and role-based questions.

Got the initial interview from on campus recruitment and got the superday offer the day after. superday was a week after, and contains 4 rounds, even one was with VP. Mostly the questions are based on Java concept like what's garbage collection? what does "volatile" keyword do?what's the difference between C++ and Java? what's the difference between Java abstract class and interface? Also contains question regarding design pattern, I get several question about singleton pattern. Just a few programming work given Java. No brain teasers, but the interview question are creative.
