I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jan 2015
Interview
Submitted resume online and got contacted about an interview ~6 weeks later; we agreed to schedule it for the beginning of January. My interviewer didn't call me at the set interview time, and after about a week of frantic emails about a possible mix up I was informed that my interview had been unavailable due to an emergency. We rescheduled for around 3 weeks later. The interviewer seemed disinterested and unprepared (he seemed to be making up questions on the spot). I didn't hear anything from them until I emailed about a week after the interview, at which point I was told that the position had been filled/cancelled. I will not be applying to Bloomberg in the future.

Interview
I really enjoyed the interview process. It was in-person so it was less intimidating since I could actually collaborate with the interviewer. The questions were a bit challenging but working with the engineers mad getting hints made it manageable.
