I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied online and was invited to interview on campus. The interviewers were pretty rude, one kept shaking his head as I explained my thought process, the other one just kind of immediately started grilling me about my career interests before the interview actually started. I'm still in college and exploring, I don't know what I want to do when I graduate.
I got a huge air of entitlement from their software engineers and won't apply again.
