I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
Brief phone interview a week after applying. CV run-through and very general questions. Was told I got to the next round a day later. The HR people were very friendly. The second round interview at the office was early in the morning. Got rejected two days later without any feedback.
