I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jun 2018

Invited onsite to a several hour interview consisting of several rounds. Each round consisted of talking about myself and then answering 2 programming problems by writing code into hackerrank with a language of my choice. Interviewers were overall very nice to talk to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find all unique paths between from one node to another in a graph.
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
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.
