I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sep 2017
Interview
Visited their booth in career fair, asked for on-campus interview a week later. First interview was with two software engineers. Simple tree question and some matrix processing question. They asked for second interview in afternoon the same day. Second interview was with one different software engineer. One algorithm question on whiteboard (can be found in leetcode). Received rejection email after a week later.
(I heard Bloomberg prefers C++, but they doesn't really care and let's you use any language.)
Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
