J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez BlackRock (San Francisco, CA) en oct. 2016
Entretien
Applied on website
Took Online web interview on same day.
Got email asking for scholarship essay.
Got invitation to interview on campus
I applied for multi assets and alternative investments based on my background but was assigned to interview for quant based equity +fixed income and trading/ Liquidites team. This mismatch truly deprived me of the opportunity to impress them with my background as they were specifically looking for candidates with quants and IT background.

The Hirevue questions were all behavioral, no tell me about yourself or why blackrock. Questions were pretty simple. Prepare a financial news story you are following because they will ask you that.
Hireview is preparation and then one time recording, which is from memory 3 minutes long. There was only 3 questions for me and most of it related to the role instead of purely just asking why blackrock or why this role.
