Interview
I applied online at Bloomberg.com and receivied a phone interview offer a week later. After that pretty basic interview, I went to Bloomberg NYC to have a skype interview with London. Easy questions but I was more prepared for finance related stuff. They really emphasized the role in itself and what the type of field is. (Still waiting to hear for a third interview)

Interview
Got to the stage of an interview with the team leaders. After initial application form had to do a standard online testing. Then I had a phone interview with someone from USA (which was rather strange because I applied to a position in London). The interviewer was really nice, starting with a friendly chat and managed to make me feel at ease through the whole process. The questions were typical why Bloomberg/why global data and tell me about a situation when... After that I got an email the same day with an invitation to the second interview in-house with the team leaders. That was a completely different story. The questions were more technical and the two girls who interviewed me were not friendly at all, moreover they kept interrupting me and telling me that my answers to their questions were wrong, after which they proceeded to telling me the correct answers and guess what they were just paraphrasing whatever I've said most of the time. After finding out that there would be 3 more stages to this process and generally getting fed up with their attitude I apologised, withdrew and left. Definitely not worth it.

Why Bloomberg/ Why data?
What automated processes do we use?
How do we clean the data?
How would you find out if there's a mistake in the data?
What's more important: deadline or quality?

Interview
I submitted my application online and received an email in a couple of days with an invitation to complete online tests, such as numerical test, which was relatively easy compared to most other standardised numerical reasoning tests. After this, I was invited for a phone interview, which focussed mostly on motivational aspects and relevant past experiences. Having passed this stage, an invitation to an in-house interview with two team leaders followed.
