I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
I had an initial phone interview on Hacker Rank with an engineer at Bloomberg. Then was called to have a 2:1 interview with junior engineers, on site. Then was called back for a final on-site interview with a Senior Engineer and HR rep.
First two rounds were algorithms and data structure questions and the final round was more of a systems development question. I was, at the final stage, rejected due to conflict of interests and goals.
Recruiter was very friendly and helpful and they even provided feedback!

Question 1
Very similar to questions on hacker rank and leet code. Also few HR questions.
Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
