I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BlackRock in Sep 2017
Interview
Started with an online programming assessment hosted on Hirevue. 3 questions to be completed in about 90 minutes. There wasn't a timer though, it was just stated in the email invitation.
Problems involved basic financial calculations (interest rates, return on investment...) and parsing through financial data (Java split, regex functions were useful for instance) and doing some calculations on that data.
Heard back 4 months later.

In my first round they asked a DSA Coding question. I do not quite remember the question that was asked, but it did not go well and was rejected.
