I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Feb 2014
Interview
Telephone Interview - not a friendly or warm interviewer at all - very cold tone and condescending tone throughout. Asked basic competency questions and once I answered those with ease, he moved on to technical questions (despite the internship role clearly saying no technical experience or knoweldge was required). It was almost an ego lifting affirming process for the interviewer as opposed to getting to know me as an applicant. The experience spoke volumes to me about Bloomberg's work culture and the type of people they recruit and I wanted no part in it.

There were several rounds. Application with some questions, then hirevue interview which asked several questions and then several rounds of interviews with employees. It was fairly straightforward and just need to be yourself and not worry too much.
