I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Dec 2015
Interview
Interview came in two parts. The first was a phone interview where we spoke about C++ and my university projects. The second part was an on site composed of three interviews, two technical and one HR.
The HR interview was very nice. She asked me general questions about why I like computer science and why I got into it. She also mentioned their work hours, as they're very long (8am to 6pm) and if I was OK with it.

Question 1
The phone screen was general C++ questions like the difference between malloc and new, classes and structs.
For the on site I was asked more C++ questions in the first technical interview, sizes of types, how pointers work, and how to split a string up into words given it was a sentence.
The second on site was technical again. I was asked how to find the index of the first unique number in an array, the two-sum problem, and the infamous 3 black hats and 2 white hats brain teaser.
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
