I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Singapur) in Jul 2014
Interview
The interview process was quite fast. I got a phone call interview asking me the general questions like why this role and why bloomberg, and got a second round interview immediately after the phone interview. The second round was a language assessment, testing my mandarin level, and quickly got into the final round meeting the head of the department. The questions they asked were quite repetitive. Some of the questions they ask again and again without realizing they actually meant the same thing.....
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
Interview process includes 3 rounds, at least for Tokyo office and new recruits.
It seemed that people were invited for in-house recruiting event (they may say they don't evaluate you but it still is a part of recruitment process so keep that in mind), while others were asked for an interview after submitting resume online.
After online submission, HR will ask for phone interview -> Skype interview (if you don't live in Tokyo) -> then a final round interview in Tokyo.
Who interviews you depends on the level / job you are applying for, but for new graduates (bachelors degree) it seemed to begin with young team leaders, then regional manager then to HR director.
