I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Sep 2018
Interview
That is a phone interview. The interviewer first asked about the most challenging project you have had as well as some descriptions. Then comes a technical programming problem which requires you to write the whole code in the online panel. In the end, it's the part for you to ask questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement a system(class) which has two methods. One method takes a stock name and amount as the input and adds up the amount if there already exists the company's name in your storage, otherwise add a new entry. The second method takes an integer as an input and returns the number of companies with the largest stocks.
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
