      Financial Software Engineer Interview

      30 Sept 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Sept 2011

      Interview

      Applied online, recruiter contacted me in 2 days. 1 hour phone interview was quickly scheduled. Interviewers were nice. Asked detailed C++ questions, and were friendly and helpful when I got stuck on some item. That particular group expected pretty low level C/C++ knowledge, still looking to confirm if all areas are like that.
