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 online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Dec 2020
Interview
First, go through the resume. Will ask you the tech stack you use in each project. Need to be familiar with. Second, two coding problems. The problem is not that hard but I guess their expectation is bug-free. Last, Reverse BQ.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Parse streaming data.
2. Find the root process.
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
