I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied online then had two telephone conversation - one with the team leader and one from hr. Following that, I was invited to a face to face interview. The latter was rescheduled several times and when finally it happened they were late to see me. This has to be one of the most annoying interviews I have ever done. I genuinely regret attending this meeting. Three individuals - two over the phone (head and regional managers) and one in person and yet weren't able to make the right decision. The so-called team leader was a rather strange character he couldn't stop talking after the interview which was tiring to have to listen to him.

Question 1
No need to prepare as they have a strange way of selecting candidates. I believe it tantamount to being unethical.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
I applied online - the next day I received an email inviting me for a telephone interview. I had that interview several days later - on the same day I received a call inviting me to an in-house interview. I had the interview the very next day. A week later I got feedback telling me that the interview was positive, and I will get a final answer soon - a few days later I got a call with the offer.

Question 1
Most of the questions were competency based questions, like:
How do you deal with pressure at work?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2016
Interview
Pretty straightforward. Quick phone interview about why I was interested, then an in-house interview, more in depth with experiences, again why Bloomberg, behavioral questions, etc. They were extremely friendly and took notes and seemed engaged, were very thorough about explaining the requirements of the job and the actual responsibilities of the position. I asked many questions and showed interest but I probably wasn't a good fit for that specific position. Be sure to study up about the company and know the requirements of the position.
