I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2012
Interview
Talked with recruiter at Career Fair, looked at resume and asked a couple of questions regarding my resume and some technical questions. Told me I would get a call if they wanted to schedule an interview. Got a call later that day to schedule an interview for the end of the week.
Went to the interview on campus, took about 20-30 minutes with two interviewers. Was asked logic questions. The interviewers left the room and came back and told me they wanted to run me through a second round on interviews. Went through second round of interviews, with two different interviewers, and they also gave logic questions that were more difficult than the first.

Interview
Received online test requirement. The time limit is 3 days. The problem is not hard, all you need is a compiler. It's all basic knowledge. The language is depended on which you applied for previously. My test is about C. During the test, you could save and quit several times. And for each question you have 3 minutes to finish it. So, use your compiler and Google. You could finish it well.
