I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jan 2015
Interview
I applied through the Bloomberg website and they contacted me in less than two weeks. They asked me to be prepared regarding the company culture and know what they do. In he first Skype interview where they asked me basic Java questions and non-technical questions. The second Skype interview was with two interviewers and was far more technical.one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Java basics such as garbage collection, differences wrt to C++, etc..
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.
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
