I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2020
Interview
Definitely pretty frustrated with my experience. I went through two 45 minute technical phone screens, an HR round, and a final round with a hiring manager. The phone screens were both LC mediums, final round was mostly behavioral with a LC easy that we did in 5-10 minutes. I felt my final round went great and was super excited afterwards.
Each step of the way my recruiter introduced significant delays between rounds, sometimes two weeks or longer and over a week to hear back. Still haven't heard back from my final round after over two weeks despite the recruiter knowing I had a deadline [from a company I had a final round with AFTER my Bloomberg final round]. Recruiter promised to get back before the deadline but did not deliver and remains unresponsive

Question 1
They asked two LC mediums within the top 10 most common Bloomberg LC questions
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
