I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
Technical coding interview after the CV screen with some behavioural questions. The next round is a virtual onsite day divided into 3 separate interviews with technical (coding) and behavioural rounds. HR is terrible at communicating with applicants. They put too many applicants in the interview pipeline and can't manage them. One of my interviews was postponed by 2 weeks just 2 hours before it was supposed to take place, and I wasn't invited to the next round of interviews despite receiving positive feedback as they didn't have enough slots. They treat their applicants like numbers, which feels very disrespectful
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode medium questions and simple behavioural questions asking about your technical background and "Why Bloomberg". The interviewer also briefly discusses a project from your resume
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
