Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Feb 2014
Interview
Telephone Interview - not a friendly or warm interviewer at all - very cold tone and condescending tone throughout. Asked basic competency questions and once I answered those with ease, he moved on to technical questions (despite the internship role clearly saying no technical experience or knoweldge was required). It was almost an ego lifting affirming process for the interviewer as opposed to getting to know me as an applicant. The experience spoke volumes to me about Bloomberg's work culture and the type of people they recruit and I wanted no part in it.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process wasn't too bad, also the questions were all right. The only thing that put me off while I was preparing for the interview is that the job itself it's somehow different from the job description. On different websites I have found comments about how the job is more a costumer service role than anything else.

Mostly competency based question (e.g. describe a time when you showed initiative)
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2016
Interview
Applied online. The phone interview was quickly arranged in about 2 weeks. After the interview I got couple of emails saying that they had a lot of applications to review and my application was still under consideration. It's been 2 months since they last contacted me. They are either heavily understaffed or forgot to send a rejection email...

Question 1
Why Bloomberg? Questions about myself. 3 coding tasks on hackerank. 2 simple, the 3-rd one a bit more interesting (binary search, map, open end I guess)
