I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Johannesburg) in Sep 2017
Interview
HR was quite efficient, the first interview went smooth .and then was called for a second one. The second one was very unprofessional with them trying to ask you questions related for a sales position, there were two interviewers and one didnt seem to know why he was even there..overall quite a disappointment, will not recommend this job to anyone. Clearly all you do is data capturing while being in a call centre

Question 1
why bloomberg, what is making you frustrated at your current job that you want to leave (clearly a very unprofessional way of asking). why do you want to work there, what do you think you will be doing ..
Friendly and nice, asked very general questions about CV, why Bloomberg, why this position, what's the strength, what path of careers are you interested in, etc. And it doesn't take very long, roughly 25min.
