I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2011
Interview

Many of the questions were general conversational questions about what I had done before. But many of them were clearly attempts to test the thickness of my skin. Almost none of the questions were technical.

Interview
