I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
I got a referral from a friend who interned at Bloomberg the previous summer. I had two on-campus (at my school) interviews. The first one went okay, but I got pretty nervous during the second interview, so despite the relative easiness of the questions they asked, I didn't perform as well as I'd hoped.

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.
