Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Princeton, NJ) in Sep 2012
Interview
Extremely professional hiring and interview process. Applied online. Acknowledgement of resume issued immediately. Within approximately two weeks received email advising of interest to conduct phone interview. Phone interview led to in-house interview. In-house interview was 2.5 hours. 1.) Tour of facilities. 2.) Video conference with NYC Human Resource manager. 3.) Two or three rounds of two person interviews. 4.) Hiring Manager. Staff was friendly, welcoming and informative. Entire process was efficient and very well coordinated. Company does an excellent job of screening candidates to make sure they are the appropriate fit for the organizat
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you really understand what this job is and what it isn't?
It was clear they had no interest in actually hiring someone for the role. Had 3 great interviews only to reach the final with a completely disinterested interviewer who was extremely negative.

Interview
The interview process consisted of an HR phone screener, interview with the hiring manager, writing assessment, and from what I understand a series of panel interviews. The people at Bloomberg do not respect your time. The HR recruiter with whom I had an initial phone screener with, called me 15 minutes late, then proceeded to leave the call half way through saying she really had to pick up another incoming call. Although she did call me back after 10 minutes, this probably was the peak of rudeness I have witnessed in interviewing for jobs thus far.
The interview with the hiring manager was pretty typical. I managed to pass this round onto the writing assessment. The hiring manager specifically told me that she likes to get back to interviewers at the latest two weeks after the written assessment. With this in mind, I was moved onto the writing assessment. I waited two weeks before reaching out to the HR recruiter for an update. She said they needed more time. I ended up waiting three more weeks, a total of five weeks to hear that I had been rejected.
All in all, very rude and inefficient interviewing process.
Interviewed over the phone with a recruiter of the company. The phone interview lasted about 30 minutes. The recruiter indicated that the process would involve about 4-5 rounds of interviews.
