I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Dec 2024
Interview
Das Gespräch verlief gut. Die dritte Bewerbungsrunde ist mit 2 Teamleitern. Einer aus dem Sales und einer aus dem Analytics Department. Zuerst wurden Fragen zu meiner Person gestellt und in der zweiten Hälfte drei Rollenspiele gemacht. Anschließend konnte ich nochmal 2 Fragen stellen und man hat sich nach 60 Minuten verabschiedet.
Rollenspiel 2: Ein CTO (Tier 1 client) muss seine Ausgaben im Tech Bereich um 20% reduzieren. Er nutzt mehrere Financial data anbieter und du hast als Bloomberg mitarbeiter nicht die Macht ihm ein günstigeres Angebot anzubieten. Was machst du?
Hirevue, Superday, In person. Hirevue was pretty standard and the superday was hard, but they give you all of the info you need to prepare. I prepared well for everything besides the sales role play, and that's where I messed up. Everything else is exactly how they describe it.

Question 1
Can you explain what both the sales and analytics teams do, and their main priorities.
It was quite nice, they were very open and friendly and willing to accommodate, there were quite a few rounds of interviews. It was interesting to see the culture and network
