I applied through university. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2017
Interview
2 on-campus interview + Onsite Interview. Took about 3 weeks. On-campus interviews were straightforward, but they seem to vary by interviewer significantly. Some of my friends got harder questions or easier questions depending on the interviewer. So definitely be ready to solve harder problems as well.
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.
