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.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Mar 2020
Interview
I did a phone interview. The interview started with the interviewer introducing himself and his role in the company. Then I introduced myself and talked about my experience. The interviewer was very pleasant. After the introductions I was asked one technical question in Python.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Minimum meeting rooms needed given an array of start and end times for each meeting.
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
