Bloomberg Software Engineer interview questions

Resume was submitted to Bloomberg One hour Phone Interview first with two engineers. Result was known same day after phone interview, then setup on site interview. On site interviews talking to two engineers. The phone interview questions are more about c++ plus some data structure and algorithm design; on site was all problem solving questions. Code writing with pencil and paper.

I submitted the application online, and they sent me an email asking my availability for a phone interview. The interviewer asked me about my past projects, etc. If I remember correctly, he asked me about multithreading vs multiprocessing and other related material. He asked me a dynamic programming question which wasn't very hard but I didn't get it nevertheless. The rest of the interview questions wasn't hard and was basically about simple sorting stuff and data structure. The onsite interview was held in their ny office. I was stuck on the first question which only required very basic math. It took me about 5 min just to understand what was going on because I couldn't picture the situation the interviewer described. After that, I don't remember much because I completely lost interest and just tried to get it done with.
