I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in May 2024
Interview
Received email on arranging a phone (yes not Microsoft Teams) interview with someone. Interviewer's title was not shared but seems to be someone from HR or Communications. Interviewer went through a list of questions that seem standard and at times asked two very similar questions when the first one was already answered, which indicates that the interviewer seems to be only following the protocol and did not have much industry experience.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in May 2025
Interview
The recruiter, unfortunately made the experience very poor.
Was asked a few minutes after the interview was meant to start if we could reschedule the interview. I said sure. I asked how to best reschedule (the original scheduling link was no longer valid). The recruiter told me I should be able to do so on the careers website. I checked but that wasn’t true and emailed back. 5 emails later and now he is ignoring me.
Not a great approach to attract talent. Extremely unprofessional.
Online application followed by initial screening call with their internal talent acquisition/HR team. Team was professional, but did not delve too deep into my experience beyond some basic questions about responsibilities listed on my resume.
