I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
I had a phone interview with Bloomberg L.P. beginning of January. The interviewer was really nice, she explained the code challenge perfectly, unfortunately i couldn't finish it for the given time.
The code challenge I had was Candy Crush 1D.
I got my rejection email 5 days after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Write an algorithm to solve Candy Crush on one dimensional axis.
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.
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
