I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at BlackRock (New York, NY) in Jul 2019
Interview
Great experience overall-4 rounds of interviews, each 45 min, 2 behavioral, 2 technical
Interviewers were all friendly and the interviews consisted of multiple small questions rather than one long question
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Inorder traversal, iterative and recursive
How to display pyramid w/for loop
OOP fundamentals (e.g 'extends' vs. 'implements' in Java)
What is the DOM in JavaScript
Online assessments followed by interviews. Only the last interview round was about me as a person, the rest was only coding interviews. It was friendly but long with lengthy breaks in between rounds.

Question 1
About past leadership experience from my previous work
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BlackRock
Interview
Very friendly, but the process was very spaced out with a lot of waiting. Overall the process wasn't very difficult, but it was a lot of work. I got to the final round, but didn't receive an offer.

Question 1
Two rounds of technical coding interviews, and one interview about you as a person.
Virtual interview on HireVue, asked two basic questions to assess soft skills. Preparation time was fairly long but no chance to re-record answers. Overall, it was a smooth and quick experience but should've researched more about the firm.
