Question 1
They asked a question on finding how many levels were between an employee and manager by showing employee/manager names. you are given the basic parsing the input and you have to code the logic. You can use a hashmap to solve this question with relative ease
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.

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.

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.
