I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
1. Phone Interview (team member)
2. Interview with 2 ppl of other departments
3. Interview with team leader & department manager
So, the first two interviews turned out to be pretty easy. They were more data and economics oriented. I have been told before (by a bloomberg insider) that the number 3 with the managers, would be the easiest.
Well, that certainly wasnt the case. No question about my economics skills. They focused on how to process data - wanted to know explicit VBA and macro coding. It turned out to be pretty tough since they always kept their faces looking on my CV, extremely bored and never satisfied....

Question 1
How would you code a VBA in order to process a 900-pages file efficiently and get the relevant data out of it
I just had a phone interview with the HR. For the second round interview there will be a 2 on 1 interview and I'm not sure what it's going to be like...

Question 1
What do you know about the position. Where do you see yourself in the next couple of years. Why bloomberg. Basically are those really typical questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Dec 2014
Interview
I only had a phone interview, which was relatively easy. It took no more than 15 minutes. In an hour I was notified the interview was successful.
The questions HR asked were basic and company specific. You are supposed to know well what does the role imply, what company does, etc. Also you should demonstrate how your experience and skills profile match to the position you applied to. They are looking for bright, goal-oriented, skillful candidates, inspired about what Bloomberg does. Typical questions:
-tell me about yourself?
-what attracts you to financial data company / why Bloomberg?
-what do you think does this role imply?
