I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
Communication from all employees at Bloomberg was quick and professional. The responsiveness was above average, being both clear and concise. Meetings were held on time, and I was not kept waiting long at all to meet either hiring manager. The staff of the building was both friendly and helpful, and I felt very welcomed and comfortable throughout the process.
