I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Dec 2019
Interview
3 steps interview process, 2nd and 3rd onsite in their London office. Very smooth interview process, really nice interviewers. I think I had around 2 or 3 interviews in the first day, algorithms and data structures. Final round next day also included a system design interview and interview with HR. Questions were very fair and atmosphere was quite collaborative. Also, they put me in a 4 star Central London Hotel and even gave a guide about what's worth exploring in London for the two days I was there.
Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
