I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
It was my first job interview. I got through the first phone interview with a breeze. I was then invited to the office at New York city for my final interview. The interview question was not too hard and I was able to solve the questions in one way or another. They asked questions that allows you to show your understanding of pointers. However, at the last 10 minutes of my second on-site technical interview, while I was writing my solution for the questions. I used a template that I memorized from LeetCode, and I think that screwed me up as the interviewer started asking me about the extra variable I included into my code. (Stupid me) But it was a decently good experience for my first interview. I just wished they would pay for Wifi for our hotel accommodation because I had to pay for Wifi myself to work on learning more algorithms.
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.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
