      Financial Applications Engineer Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2012

      Interview

      I attended a Career Fair at my college, I couple days later I received an email asking me to schedule a time for an on-campus interview. The On-Campus interview was pretty easy, just asked me about my resume and some basic interview questions. I received an email a day or two later asking me to take the next step in the application process by completing an online skills assessment. I thought it was going to be easy maybe some basic math problems and count how many times a certain letter would appear but I underestimated it. Yes there was some of those questions but keep in mind each question is timed. You have two minutes to answer each question.
