I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
Applied online, and was contacted a week later to schedule a technical phone screen. The phone screen consisted of solving 2 easy to medium problems on a shared code editor within a span of one hour. I was able to do both, and was invited for an on-site interview in New York pretty quickly.
The on-site interview consists of a quick tour of their office followed by 2 technical interviews. The first interview was with a junior developer and consisted of a couple more data-structures/algorithms questions. The second was with a senior engineer who asked a more open-ended data-structure/algorithms question. Unfortunately, I panicked at this stage and couldn't quite answer the question, though the interviewer tried to give me some (not so helpful) hints. I was escorted out of their office abruptly right after that interview, with no real feedback given or time to ask questions, and received a rejection email the next day.
Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
