I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
First Interview (technical): A technical employee calls you and asks a few general interview questions and looks through CV. Then sets a HackerRank task.
Second Interview is the same format but held over Zoom, with 2 technical employees.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Calculating number of steps it takes for Collatz Conjecture to reach 1.
Asked two leetcode mediums and why Bloomberg every round. Pretty straightforward and guide you through problems if you get stuck. Focus on explaining solution and arriving at an optimal solution. Three technical rounds, one HR, and one final hiring manager.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
I was interviewing for them, around 4-5 rounds, which could be scheduled in the same days based on their availability. No OAs so I love it! Real engineers will evaluate you. Coding --> HR chat --> Engineering manager. Long process but great and supportive interviewers.
