I am a new grad and had applied on the careers page of Bloomberg website. I then received a mail after 10 days asking me to provide dates for a telephonic interview. I proposed 3-5 dates; but then did not get any response whatsoever. I mailed them again proposing 3-4 additional dates and eventually got a telephonic interview scheduled. This time though, the interviewer never called! I was already having second thoughts about working for such a company but the recruiter apologized and scheduled the telephonic for another day. Finally, I got a call. Telephonic Interview: The interviewer was knowledgeable. We discussed in detail about my previous work experience. He then gave a very simple programming question (the kind you would solve in the first year of your undergrad studies). He then allowed me to ask him questions and I learnt a good deal about the kind of work and the teams at Bloomberg. Within a couple of hours, I got an email inviting me for the on-site interview in New York. On-site interview: I had two rounds of technical interview with a 20 min break in between. On the day, 10 other students were invited for interview. We were given a brief tour of the office and then each one of us were given a snack box. We then proceeded to different conference rooms to be interviewed. Unlike many other interviews that I had attended, I had to write the code on paper instead of on whiteboard. One of the interviewers for my first round came in late. Until then, I was discussing about the work at Bloomberg with another interviewer. We then talked briefly about my previous experience. The question was a simple 2D-Array traversal problem. The interviewer seemed to have had a very specific approach in my mind and was chipping in every now and then with questions and input even before I was fully done with writing the program. I then stopped, told them what I had in mind and how I planned to do it and then proceeded to write the code again. The second round was similar. This time, I was asked a tree-traversal problem, every node in the tree could have arbitrary number of children. I had to decide my data structure and write a function to traverse the that tree. In this round, the interviewer seemed uninterested. Whenever, I asked a question about the nature of work and the company, the interviewer would turn defensive and provide answers in rhetorics. Overall, the whole experience did not paint a very good picture about the company for me.
