Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Applied online, got an email to schedule a phone interview.
My interview got rescheduled on the same day of the interview.
Got a reject 3 business days after the interview.
The interviewer seemed confused himself.
There something going on in the background near him, and I asked him to repeat the question many times.
First question was standard C and related to pointers.
eg: &a[0] means what etc.
Second question was debugging a C code- which I screwed up
The third question was their standard question: find the longest increasing subsequence, which my interviewer misinterpreted for finding the longest contiguous increasing subsequence.
Finally after all this confusion, he asked me to explain the logic and time complexity.
Then he gave me 10 minutes to write down my code, and grilled me regarding memory leaks and checking whether the vector is empty etc...
Overall a bad interview experience..............

Other Software Engineer interview reviews for Bloomberg
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
