I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
Telephone interview - 30 mins, given a time to introduce myself, then asked 3 questions to answer. Basically, the person on the phone was just writing down points, and you are asked to talk and provide the asnwers, there is not much interaction from their site.

Question 1
Why Bloomberg?/ Why Global Data? / What do you think is the main goal of this role?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jul 2017
Interview
The first round is video interview. You can find the questions easily online and prepare for them. The second round is phone interview, the HR (from HK office) called me once but I missed the call. I called back immediately but no reply. I rescheduled the interview, but did not receive any phone call at the scheduled time. So I had to reschedule for a second time. The phone interview is not very difficult, but it is the first job interview I got. I spent so much time introduce myself, this left a bad impression to the interviewer.

I did a walk in interview at the Boston Career Forum. It was about 15-20 minutes. It was very informal and there weren’t any surprises. Two members of the company interviewed me, I think the first person was someone from a different department asking general questions and another person was from the department that worked with global data analysis.
