I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
Applied through career fair booth and went through 3 rounds of on-campus interviews. First two were technical and mainly tested C/C++ and algorithms questions. Last interview was an HR interview and asked pretty general stuff about previous projects and obstacles overcome.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Find the largest k numbers in an enormous array of numbers. You cannot sort the array.
The first round is a phone interview that takes 45 min. After several days I got the email saying that I wad invited to the on site interview in New York. There were two interviewers this time.
I applied online, and few days after, the HR email me to schedule a phone interview date with the interviewer, the first scheduled time nothing happen, so I scheduled another time, then the next time, the phone call came as expected, they only ask me some very simple questions such as what's the difference between java and C++, most of time I talking about my project which the interviewer seems interested in on it too.
All seem going smoothly, however, two weeks later, I was told that the position was already filled.
