I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (College Park, MD) in Sept 2017
Interview
Had an On Campus interview, with two engineers. It was strange having two engineers interview me at once, and they were not exactly in sync with each other in terms of the hints they gave/questions they asked about my code. Overall, the question was not difficult but the two interviewer approach was strange to me. Not the best interview experience. Spent about 5 minutes on my resume initially before jumping into the technical portion.

Question 1
Identify a 'coolstring' which has the same frequency of every character.
The entire process was a bit chaotic, I spent a bit of time going back a fourth with my recruiter to schedule the interview by the time i was able to i believe they had already moved forward with a different candidate. My interviewer ended the interview early and had no interest in me at all.
