I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Dec 2016
Interview
I applied through the CS career fair at my school. Got a call for an interview 1 month later. Had a 45 minute phone interview first and then 2 sets of on-site interviews at New York. The interviewers were friendly and the questions were reasonably easy. A lot of emphasis was given on prefixed trees and trees in general. They make you stay for an extra interview with HR after the first two interviews if they want to make an offer.

What is the maximum sum of numbers in an array where you cannot add consecutive numbers?
It was a first round of a leetcode problem and talking through our past experiences and then after that the next round was 3 different interviews with 3 leetcode problems.

This was my first round, I was scheduled for this hackerrank live coding interview within 2 weeks of applying.
The interviewer was not helpful at all with answering follow-up questions. Said he’s not allowed to do that.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Cambridge, MA) in Sept 2022
Interview
I really enjoyed the interview process. It was in-person so it was less intimidating since I could actually collaborate with the interviewer. The questions were a bit challenging but working with the engineers mad getting hints made it manageable.
