I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2018
Interview
I interviewed over the phone after applying online. The coding questions were easy, but the interviewer was really nitpicking on tiny details (e.g. using additional variables, which has no effect on performance and would really made code more readable), and didn't give me time to look over/ test the code myself before jumping in and pointing out mistakes. While discussing my resume I also had a feeling the interviewer was very impatient, and interrupted while I was speaking. The overall discussion and conversation were okay, but I can't say my experience was very positive.
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
