I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Princeton, NJ)
Interview
I went through 3 rounds of interviews, two technical with software engineers, one with HR, then the last with the head of R&D himself. I answered all the technical questions efficiently, so I don't think my lack of an offer was due to that. As other interviews post on here, be wary of the "why Bloomberg" question; I'm guessing my answer to that was the reason I was rejected. It's a little hard to not be a bit miffed about it since all signs were going very well, just to get a rejection without a real clue as to why.

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
