It was the most unprofessional experience I've had and I was surprised that the company this well-known had such a low-level HR responsible. The e-mails always had a lot of errors about date and time. How the messages were written were so casual that I wondered if the HR person was a high school student intern or something. It should not hurt to use words such as "please" to complete strangers including job candidates. I had such a bad impression on these initial correspondences that I completely lost my interest in the company before actually meeting anyone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why change the industry now? (because I was doing an analysis work in a different field)
What can you bring to the role?
Most of the questions were fairly basic.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Oslo) in Feb 2017
Interview
Short, Efficient and to the point. Had one phone call with a recruiter which was short and they asked two simple questions. Had then a video interview with two people, which were not prepeared at all, and muted themself so they could talk between them
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Princeton, NJ) in Feb 2018
Interview
Applied online, HR called within days, video conference by the following week. HR was extremely solid. Interview was laughably unprofessional. One member was very involved and helpful, the other was looking out the window sipping coffee. Interns have more tact, I lost interest after 5 minutes.
