I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jul 2017
Interview
-2 Phone Screens, including coding and problem solving
-F2F interview ( 2 rounds, 2 interviewer each)
Sailed through 2 phone screens which were harder than in-person, was let go after 2nd round in-person. No courtesy of feedback, received automated response saying I am not being considered for position. The reason I am writing is I thought I excelled in in-person interview answering all questions to the fullest demonstrating my thinking process as well considering all edge cases and reached to the answers. May be I was not match for position or vice-versa but they needs to at least have courtesy of constructive feedback assuming time and effort we put in.
Note for future candidate: If position is requires C++ and if you are Java person, DON"T APPLY!!! They do not understand JAVA API, as answering questions in Java backfires!

Interview
Apply online, telephonic screen sharing tech interview, onsite interviews.
After clearing telephonic tech interview was invited for onsite interview.
One day before the interview got a mail from recruiter that my interview was cancelled because the people who were supposed to be interviewing me were out of country. The recruiter asked for another dates. I wasted one holiday of mine as I already informed my current employer about time off with some reason. Recruiter SHOULD have informed me earlier, not only her fault but hiring process is flawed.
For the new date recruiter informed me that I'll be interviewing for two teams and asked me book the entire day for them. Ended up interview only for one team in morning.
Again wasted half of my vacation.
She did not clarify why my interview with CIS team was cancelled for the second time.
