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 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2016
Interview
Applied through friends referral, interviewer was late for 10 minutes.
Asked a few questions about previous experience, then jumped into coding. I think it is because running out of time, interviewer stopped me when about to finish the second question.
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
