I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
I applied on their website and heard back a couple of weeks later. First round was a thirty minute automated video interview. Second round was a short fifteen minute phone call where they offered me a super day interview in San Francisco. I went to super day. First part was a group presentation on cryptocurrency and blockchain where we had to research the information and answer their questions using the terminal. Second part was 2 back to back individual interviews with managers.
It was a natural conversation. Not tense. Almost didn’t even feel like I was having an interview. Tested both Japanese and English skills. They also asked me about their products
