I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in May 2010
Interview
I had interview with two different teams.
first team, people were in a lot of hurry, and little arrogant.
questions asked : B-tree - how to find an element
reverse link list
second team - were nicer, just one interview
1. anagram problem
2. reverse the integers in a number.
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
