I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sept 2018
Interview
I applied online. Got a response within 7 days to set up a phone interview.
The interviewer had a heavy accent. Asked me about my projects and role; basic questions from the resume. 10 minutes into the interview, went onto the technical question on hackerrank code pair. One question about creating a schedule based on the meeting timings of an employee. It was an easy question and I solved with just a little help. Got a rejection mail next day which was very surprising to me.

The entire process was a bit chaotic, I spent a bit of time going back a fourth with my recruiter to schedule the interview by the time i was able to i believe they had already moved forward with a different candidate. My interviewer ended the interview early and had no interest in me at all.
