I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jan 2010
Interview
Applied through university and received email from company asking me to take an online test. I took the test in C#. The test is considerably difficult.
In two days I was informed that I was selected for a telephonic interview. It was primarily about my resume and then a couple of data structure questions. Lasted for 45 minutes. Within an hour, I received a mil that I was selected for the second round of telephonic interview.
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
