I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Lugano) in May 2024
Interview
The interview process consisted of five stages, and overall, it was a positive and smooth experience. It began with a call from HR, which focused on getting to know my background, professional experience, and expectations for the role. Next, I had two technical interviews that were primarily focused on algorithms, where I was tasked with solving problems that were challenging but relevant to real-world scenarios. The third technical interview involved a system design task, which allowed me to showcase my architectural and design skills. Finally, I had a manager interview, which was more conversational, discussing my approach to problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership. Throughout the process, I felt that the tasks were closely aligned with actual challenges faced in the role, making the interview both practical and engaging.

Interview
3 rounds in total.
First round was a coding round where i was asked to code on hackerrank.
Second with a senior engineer and was asked 2 coding questions, both being on arrays.
The last was with senior director.
Asked on resume and system design.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2024
Interview
3 technical rounds, no OA. First round was virtual, next two rounds were on campus. All of them followed a similar format with 1-2 SWEs asking you 1-2 leetcode questions (easy/medium in my case).
Leetcode: Number of valid triangles given an array of side lengths. A valid triangle would consist of 3 side lengths x, y, and z such that any 2 side lengths added together must be greater than the third.
