Two rounds of OA, one round of multiple questions in math, stats, finance, programming. The time is extremely limited, with two hours for more than 30 short answers. Another round in Python coding with data. Relatively easy in one hour.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2010
Interview
It is a 2:1 interview. Two interviewers and me. Based on my resume, they asked me a lot of C++ programming techs. And they improvise, extend to other not related at all techs, detailed to memory locating, etc. Then brain teaser. It is quite okay, but they want to show your whole thinking process. I ended up gave them not a standard answer, and explain to them step by step why this works. They pay great attention to my thinking process. Last, they gave me a problem to write the usdo code. And comment, ask why I did this on every step. It is a little bit difficult to concentrate, but I guess it is how the working environments are, you constantly dealing with people, and coworkers. It ended up badly with not remembering some library code, and not familiar with the hardware related coding.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
Embarking on a multi-stage interview process, I tackled a written test assessing technical skills remotely. Subsequently, engaging in team interviews with pairs of team members across five rounds, I gained insights into company culture and team dynamics. The final stage, a presentation to the entire team, tested communication and subject matter expertise. Each phase provided unique challenges and opportunities for showcasing skills and understanding the organization's values.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Princeton, NJ) in Dec 2016
Interview
The interview process began with phone screening and video conference with two employees before interviewing on sight. Travel was paid to company offices. Everyone I interacted with including both the recruiter and travel services representative were all very positive, and there was a uniform sense of professionalism and adherence to quality that I have rarely seen with companies big and small.
