I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Feb 2017
Interview
First you speak with HR over the phone and if you pass that, which you most likely do, they will schedule a technical phone interview over hacker rank x to test your knowledge.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Over hacker rank the person interviewing me asked me to create a program, that will manage several stocks and information pertaining them. The input to the program was a steady stream of data containing company name, share volume and share value. The application was suppose to take this stream and calculate certain values for which I was given equations. I had to organize the data by company, and each company needed to have its own values.
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.
