Bloomberg Sr. Software Engineer interview questions

Referred by a friend. Took about 1.5 months from application to offer and a total of about 8 rounds. Had an initial call with the recruiter regarding the role, fit etc. This was followed by 2 phone interviews which were both coding + discussion, 1 hour each. Then had an onsite in a few weeks. The first round was high level design + role specific questions. The second round was coding + low level design. Next 2 rounds were straightforward, one with an engineering manager and another with the HR. After the onsites, they scheduled 2 additional interviews with senior members of the team, both of them focused on past experiences, high level engineering and overall role + culture fit. Got an offer within 3 days. Overall, I loved the interview process because what I realised was communication and collaboration skills mattered far more than mindlessly pumping out code. The interviews are geared towards checking these skills which I really appreciate. Interviewers and HR were friendly. Overall, the process was extremely professional with minor to no hiccups.

45 Phone Technical Interview session was setup on Hacker Rank followed by HR phone screening. First 10-15 min introduction talking with interviewer and then, followed by 30 min coding session to solve the problem in Hacker Rank. Please watch time on introduction session, it is better to use more time for problem solving. Problem solving time was too short.
