I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BlackRock (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
It was straight forward and appropriate. A "good" interview. Skills review, a few technical questions, some background and work history.
I had two phone interviews and one in person interview. There was a bit of paper work and that sort of thing. The entire interview process took about 3 weeks before day one on the job started.
