I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Feb 2022
Interview
The first round interview was pre recorded and asked questions regarding interpersonal skills but also about how Bloomberg differs from competitors. The second round was over zoom and there were questions about what I had read in the news, my CV and interpersonal skills again. I was then asked to complete an additional interview over the phone in Spanish to make sure I spoke the language.

Question 1
Tell us about an interesting piece of financial news
I applied through university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
- On campus coffee chat --> resume screening --> hirevue --> on campus follow up --> first round interview with sales and analytics leads --> final round in NYC with analytics and sales managers
Online interview then super day. The interviewers were very nice. Had a good conversation. Mostly behaviorals. Just want to make sure you have basic understanding of markets. Overall it was not that hard.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Sydney) in Sept 2024
Interview
Just overall bad experience. First they make you do a whole psychometric test that tries to trick you. Basically just select all the answers that make you seem like an "yappy extroverted" person to get through this round. Then do their interview. Their interview was most likely not watched by anyone because they rejected in just 2 days. My tip for future candidates is try to smile the whole time like their reporters on tv, and if you are a smooth talker you'll likely get through this round. Other reviews say they have three or four other interview rounds. Idk if that's true from my end but the number of rounds is a big red flag.
