I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Madison, WI) in Sep 2018
Interview
Met in Career fair, called for an on-campus interview. Interview had a straight forward process. For the first 5-10 minutes, we talked about my resume and my interests and then we went straight to coding questions. Then they asked if I had any questions about Bloomberg and that's about it.
