I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process was very smooth and well organized. First applied online, then had an HR interview and an on-site technical interview. My recruiter was very accessible and if you had any feedback on potential departments you would want to work for (e.g. web development) you could have a conversation about it with them.
