I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Feb 2018
Interview
I applied directly from Bloomberg website. The whole process took about 2+ weeks. I had an email confirming for the technical interview over the phone.
My recruiter asked me about my background based on the submitted resume. He had a pretty thick accent and the phone noise made it worse so I could not understand almost 70% of what he was saying. I am still not sure of what he was asking for. I could not answer the two questions he was asking me.
Two days later after this technical phone screening, I got a rejection mail which surely is not surprising.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a simple program to get consecutive timeslots from the schedule.
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
