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.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jul 2020
Interview
No online assessment, one round for phone interview, and two rounds for the virtual onsite part. All the interviewers are so friendly and willing to help me, but based on some pass experience, if you want to get an offer, you need try to pass the first two tech- rounds, then pass the senior manager and hr rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General algorithm and specific data structure questions. You need be really familiar with data structure knowledge, such as the Bit.
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.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
