I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Dec 2015
Interview
HR set up a technical phone interview for a specific date. The interviewer didn't call nor did they send an email to say they weren't going to be able to make the interview. I emailed HR and let them know that the interviewer missed the interview. They rescheduled and the interviewer called the second time.
This initial phone interview was simple; they just asked about my previous work experience and some very simple questions about OOP. I got an email shortly after to confirm an onsite interview. They booked the flight and sent me all the details. Three days before the onsite, they left me a voicemail saying that the interview was cancelled without providing a reason.

The entire process was a bit chaotic, I spent a bit of time going back a fourth with my recruiter to schedule the interview by the time i was able to i believe they had already moved forward with a different candidate. My interviewer ended the interview early and had no interest in me at all.
