      Financial Sales and Analytics Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      Standard phone screen about a week after submitting my application. Then I was flown out to the NYC office for Super Day. You'll do things in varying orders because you're put into 3 groups of 6 (approximately), but your activities for the day are: Group office tour with someone who has been in the role for a few months, teamwork activity, then an hour of interviewing. In-all less than 3 hours. The tour is standard. It's a little more informal. Perfect time to ask more lighthearted questions about Bloomberg's culture, what the role is like, etc. Our guide was really friendly and helpful. The group activity didn't feel important because the manager who administered it seemed agitated he had to be there (he noted it was the first time they have tried this activity). You have 15 minutes to complete your task. Correctness AND methods matter, but it wasn't an extreme amount of pressure. The interviews were done in a room with all of your other group members going at the same time. I actually felt more comfortable this way. You have two 30-minute interviews: one with a sales team leader, and someone who is an analytics team leader. Questions are about how your background would make you ideal for the role, etc. They'll also take a look at an experience and formulate a sales question related to it (In my case, how would I sell Terminal to an academic institution also looking at Eikon). Knowledge of events impacting the markets is a must. However, you drive the conversation so stick to talking about events that interest you. Brush up. Here's where things lost transparency. Out of state applicants were cryptically invited to stay behind afterwards to "verify travel plans" but in reality they scheduled us for another hour-long interview. I didn't know this was a possibility. Keep the afternoon following Super Day free. If you are not invited to this extra interview, you are out. This interview required more knowledge of the financial services industry and Bloomberg's competitors than the previous two. You'll be talking to someone higher on the food chain, so stay sharp. If you're like me who didn't have a sales background, you're going to have to do quite a bit of convincing. Afterwards, I was immediately approached by my recruiter and she said the manager had nothing but good things to say, and that she would contact me regarding next steps. I was confused, because I thought surely that must be it. Three hours later I received an email to set up ANOTHER interview with the North America sales director. Whether or not you receive an offer, this interview is as far as you go. One of the questions I was asked is below. It was only 30 minutes long and done over the phone due to technical issues with their video conference software. If you're local, I'm sure this is done in-person. You'll have to go over your background again, and you'll get yet another description of the career path. By the way, I think it's useful to go into this process knowing how you'll fit into Bloomberg's culture. However, they didn't hammer cultural fit as much as I thought. Secondly, in my last two interviews I was asked if I would get bored. This is in reference to the fact that your first 8 months or so tend to be spent on their Help Desk and in training. The Help Desk is consultative, but as a generalist you can't really answer the more complex, interesting questions. So be prepared to explain why you love helping people use software.

      Question 1

      If you were on our sales floor right now and we got a call, what would you say if I handed the phone to you and you had five minutes to talk to the client?

      Interview

      6 month interview cycle so it takes a while to actually talk to managers. The trader was not the nicest and would laugh after interviews. Overall a really long process
