I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Telephone interview first and then onsite. The onsite interview took about 1.5 hour, with 3 interviewers(one of them is an observer, he didn't ask any question, and he helped me a lot), and the questions were mainly focused on data structure and memory complexity. If you pass it, you will presumably have an HR interview. I didn't pass the technical round, but the process seems smooth to me, and the interviewers were very nice. I tortured them with my poor coding skills, and I felt sorry for myself and for wasting their time, and I forgot many important things I should've remembered. Don't spend too much time on practicing specific programming problems which is not very useful, and I think one should make sure their preparation covers all the basic knowledge of the language they choose. Anyway, Bloomberg is my dream company, but guess I am not good enough now, and I might try again after I am more prepared.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
