I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2018
Interview
Applied through website for UK position.
Went through phone interview, two relatively easy questions. Interviewer was overall satisfied, and said they will get back to me quickly.
They did the same day, and confirmed i passed the interview and will have next round, and asked me if i needed Visa to attend on-site interview, and i answered.
After 7 days i received an email from HR saying they can't move forward and will have to cancel the upcoming interview, since they've already "extended" a lot of offers, and don't want to waste my time. Very very unprofessional. You don't just confirm something if you are unsure about it for any reason, never!

Identify a 'coolstring' which has the same frequency of every character.
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.
