I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Apr 2017
Interview
I interviewed for the Beijing office remotely since I was in US that time. 4 round interviews took me more than 3 months to complete, which was too long. Interviewers were quite friendly. Actually I benefited a lot from the whole process and succeed another interview later.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Peking, Peking) in Sep 2017
Interview
Half a month after I applied online, I got a email from Bloomberg Beijing asking me to finish a video interview within two business days. Questions are simple, such as what business does bloomberg does, you motivation to work in Bloomberg. And then, after nearly a month, I got the phone interview with HR, still basic questions. Later on, I did a video interview with two sales representatives from Bloomberg China.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the clients of Bloomberg Terminal? Why do you think commercial banks would use Bloomberg Terminal?
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Singapur) in Aug 2017
Interview
It took about 2 weeks (up to now). I applied online and received a phone interview after a few days. I was told to come for an in-house interview one day after the call.
I was told to be interviewed by 2 team leaders: 1 from sale and 1 from analytics. I was really impressed of the opened working environment at Bloomberg, and their team leaders were really nice. I just want to be there once again (haha)
During the interview, I was nervous and didn't answer all the question well or at least to my expectation (after the interview and reflected back, I thank I could do better). I did research about what kind of questions they would ask. But again, it happened in a different way... The leaders really went deeply into my qualifications and studies and asked why I chose this position instead of consulting or banking. I was quite shaken to hear that and indeed, they asked a lot of questions to figure my interest and WHY I applied to the position and HOW I could contribute.
I think it was good to prepare before the interview, at least, you could hold your breath and be more confident. However, be prepared that things may (or definitely) go beyond your expectation.
Personally, I think finance-related questions would be easier, and it would be your lucky day if the interviewer asked about your finance knowledge . But, it didn't happen to me anyway...
/* I hope my comments can help someone else like me and all the bests to your applications */
