I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2014
Interview
Referred on October 15th, got an email from HR on October 29th, scheduled a phone interview on November 20th.
Phone Interview. Start by asking about projects on my resume. Talked about two projects, one from my previous internship, using C++ and one in the school. Then start coding in HackerRank. Three coding problems in total -- merge sorted array, check if two trees are the same and validate if a tree is a binary search tree. Got one snippet of code in the end and asked me to think of test cases and fix the bug. It mainly completes the task to reverse integer. Give me time to ask questions about the company.

Question 1
That would be fix the overflow issue in the last question
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
