I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Aug 2018
Interview
Standard resume and personal letter. That was later followed with a video interview.
I got asked; Tell me a little about yourself and why do you think you would be good for this job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The video interview was hard since you didn't get any questions on beforehand and as soon as you hit start you only got around 15sec to answer a question. You couldn't paus in between questions either.
Got the selective one-way video interview for News 2026. The question format caught me by surprise. It is not a way for them to get to know you -- you need to be prepped to give your answer as soon as you click in. There is no waiting or prep/time: you read the question and then have to start speaking.

Question 1
Why are you a good candidate, pitch a story, describe a story you've followed and what would you do differently, etc
Not technical in the first rounds - completely about your motivations. You also need to be very aware of what product offerings they have. There was a language interview to check that you can speak the language.
