I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2017
Interview
The interview process at Bloomberg was very smooth. After having submitted my online application I received confirmation for the video interview one week after and for the assessment centre one month after. The assessment centre was organised perfectly, and they really wanted us to feel at ease. Also during the interviews, I really had the feeling that the team leaders and managers wanted to get to know me.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
First there was an online application which I found through linkedin, a few weeks later there was a one-sided video interview asking questions such as "why bloomberg?" a few weeks after that I had a phone screening with someone in HR, followed by a super day in New York. The super day was about 3 and a half hours long. there were about 20 other candidates there and we were split into two groups. There were two 30 minute behavioral interviews, one with an analytics team leader and one with a sales team leader. Super informal, basically just chatting with them about what you know about Bloomberg and why you want the job (they don't use resumes either, so definitely know it well so you can talk about your past experiences). Know about the markets because they might ask some questions about that, but since its a training program there is no real experience necessary- i got the feel that the interviews were mostly to test if your personality was a good fit for the company. Following the interviews, there was a tour of the office (which is beautiful), a q&a with former interns, and a group presentation where we were given an article and had to present on it in front of different people who work for Bloomberg. Overall a very fun and relaxed day, everyone is super friendly and seems like they just want to see you to succeed. They said they would get back to us within 1-2 weeks, I received a call after one business day.
Phone interview for second round with the Human Resources. Very friendly and relaxed. No questions about finance or anything technical.
Currently am preparing for my last round interview which includes an in-house interview in which I will shadow the Bloomberg desk. After I will have an 1-1 interview with the MD.
