      Financial Products Interview

      11 Sept 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Aug 2016

      Interview

      Put in an application and received a test, then it was the video interview. I do not generally mind video interviews, but there was only 1min and 30 seconds to answer (you did not get to retry) and the fact this did not change was what made it negative to me. Regardless if the question was brief or not, the time was the same and so I was either watching the clock rushing to run them through my experience or nerves would kick in after answering a short question with so much time left. I personally feel the experience didn't give room for anyone who does not have responses prepared in advance - I didn't feel it was about me so much individually as had been other video interviews I'd done and I just don't think video interviews are the place to be discussing how well you can connect with others (throughout multiple questions), how I would sell something to someone - it's different, and in my experience that's a strength, but without a person to relate to it is very difficult to describe an ability to do that and i think contact (even if they had a recorded person asking the questions) in the questions they asked would have been more influential than 1 minute 30 anecdotes where personal flare had little room.

      Interview questions [1]
