I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Oct 2023
Interview
After passing first round remote coding interview, I had on-site interview for two teams with three rounds for each team (hour long coding and design and half hour of speaking to department manager). Coding problems were not complex, but attention to details and accuracy are expected and assessed. Design question was with open solution, and for senior level expectations of system design are high.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Apr 2026
Interview
I took 7 interviews across 2 teams. The process is long and drawn out.
You take 2 initial phone interviews for each team; these interviews are similar.
It would make sense to take one at that stage. (same format)
Each team also has a coding round and a system design round(similar rounds). Again repetitive.
I had a resume interview for one of the teams. So overall, I had to take 7 different interviews (7 hours of interviewing).
No feedback after all those rounds.
Overall, all I can say is it was an experience.
