I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied on Campus , got a call for on campus. Interview went very well but got rejected. No idea why. Just one round and they said no employment where as on campus they were asking me for another round until the office said they can do just one. I heard from them that they would call back.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied online. 3 one hour on-campus interviews in successive days. Questions not too hard, but mainly technical. Started with a pair of recruiters giving questions together. The next day, there was only a single recruiter, but similar to the first day. The third day was a little similar, but with a project manager for the first half. The second half was mainly HR related questions with the R&D recruiter.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Can a C++ constructor throw an exception? If so, how should it be handled?
Assume you have a large file with lines of timestamps and IP addresses. Timestamps are ordered, but may repeat and may skip. How do you determine whether there is a time window that has a certain IP address appearing more than k times? How would you solve this if instead you received a stream.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2014
Interview
I submitted my resume on a campus event and got an interview opportunity very soon. The whole interview took 1 hour. Most questions are technique questions about algorithm. The questions were not difficult. They were basically related to data structure or OOP. I needed to write the working code on paper. This was a bit difficult to me, because I needed to ensure everything was organized before I wrote them down. The interviewers are patient and nice.
