      Financial Product Sales and Analytics Interview

      Apr 19, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      It was a very long process to be honest. I started with my application in February and i got an offer in April. It started with an online assessment, followed by a telephone interview, a language test, and three in-house interviews. It takes quite a while for them to match your availability with the availability of the interviewers. The difficulty of the interviews I would say is average. It is not that hard, it is even easy if you make sure you do research about Bloomberg, if you know about Bloomberg's products, competitors, competitive advantage, potential clients, the role itself, etc. Make sure you inform yourself about what is moving markets currently? So for me, i had to be updated on the interest rates and the oil prices. Make sure you are familiar with Sales Techniques and Strategies, and the different Asset Classes and the Finance industry in general. In every interview they asked me "Why Bloomberg?" so make sure you have your pitch ready. They might give you different cases where they will try to find out your thought process. Remember, they won't expect you to be experts in the oil industry or anything, they just want to know how you react in different situations and how you deal with them. Make sure you come off as motivated and driven to work for Bloomberg. As long as you show that, and prove that you have done your research, you will have a good chance! Apart from that, the interview atmosphere was always good, my interviewers very always really nice and made me feel comfortable, so there is nothing to worry about that! Good luck to anyone who is applying and I hope my questions below will help you with your interviews! :D

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Third In-House Interview Head of Analytics 1. Why Bloomberg? 2. Talk me through the negative interest rates 3. Talk me through the oil crisis. Which countries are being mostly impacted by a low oil price? Why is Russia being more affected than for instance Saudi Arabia? 4. What keeps you motivated about technology since it is important within Bloomberg? 5. What other companies/industries have you applied for? Second In-House Interview Analytics Manager & Sales Manager 1. Tell me about yourself 2. Why Bloomberg? 3. What is exceptional customer service for you? 4. How did you react when you had an angry customer? How did you go the extra mile for that customer? 5. Tell me about a time when you were risk taking. 6. Again, be informed about financial regulations such as MiFID II and Basel III 7. When a client asks for the gold price, what do you do to show exceptional customer service? 8. What is the ECB currently doing with regards to the interest rate? 9. How do changes in the interest rate affect the inflation rate? 10. Why Finance? First In-House Interview Analytics Team Leader & Sales Team Leader 1. Why Bloomberg ? 2. Talk me through your CV 3. Tell me about a time when you had to implement something new? 4. Tell me about a time when you had to persuade someone? 6. Besides the Terminal, what are other revenue generating products? 7. What has caused companies in the financial industry to put emphasise on data management? Inform yourself on regulations such as Basel III, Mifid II and the Libor scandal. 8. What is your plan B, if Bloomberg does not happen? 9. Case: If an analyst (forgot about what), trader (wrong interest rate shown in the terminal) and CEO (about an event you should sign him up for) contact you, who do you answer first? 10. Case study: A portfolio manager asks for the gold price. What do you do that is 1) expected 2) exceptional 3) gets you promoted to sales? Telephone Interview 1. Talk me through your CV 2. Why Bloomberg? 3. Why Finance? 4. Bloomberg’s Products 5. Bloomberg’s Competitors 6. Bloomberg’s Clients 7. Bloomberg’s Competitive Advantage 8. A client from Bloomberg wants to leave to a competitor. What do you do? 9. Current news 10. How does deflation affect debt instruments?
