I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Oct 2012
Interview
Had a brief phone interview first, then invited to the first interview. At the first interview, 6 people in the group taken to the meeting room, and HR introduced Bloomberg briefly and we all did self introduction. Then each of us sit with the current financial analyst and see what their job like. After that, we have individual interview with the team manager. He asked me why Bloomberg, what I think this position suits me etc. After few days, got a email to invite me to the final interview. It was with the team manager and the division manager. They asked more detailed questions, like what current financial market like etc. At this stage, I strongly recommend to read lots of newspapers and be ready to discuss current financial market.

Multitasking
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2025
Interview
Started interviewing after a recruiter from
Bloomberg reached out. Standard recruiter call followed by email asking to interview for first rounds in person. Met with the entire team individually split between two “rounds”. Followed by a case study and a presentation in person.
a couple hours, not too difficult questions, lots of behavioral or situational standard stuff that isn't too deep. Company seems pretty standard and traditional, in office mandate. Pay seems lower than expected.
