I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jan 2021
Interview
First round phone interview (1 interviewer): solving a medium-level algorithm problem
Second round video interview (2 interviewers): details about the past projects; a medium-level algorithm problem.
All the 3 interviewers were very nice and helpful. But finally I was rejected. The feedback from the second round is something like "doubt of teamwork ability of the applicant". I think I emphasized my work in the background explanation part, which could be avoided next time :(. Anyway it was a great interview experience where I learned a lot.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
R1: a medium-level algorithm problem (writing the code in an editor). After figuring out the solution, the interviewer asked something about the intrinsic of the data structures I was using (like hashmaps, vectors).
Applied on their website, received e-mail for scheduling phone interview, interviewr was ok and provided hints but I think that bombed my score. Was asked about projects for like 10 minutes, total time was 60 minutes for the interview

Question 1
1. Check if two words are anagram
2. Number of ships in a rectangle(sub-matrix) populated with 'X'(ships) or '0'(water), cant access the matrix like matrix[i][j], can only call function hasShips(topRight, bottomLeft) for a rectangle defined by topRight and bottomLeft, solution was divied et impera
First you apply through their online portal and then you need to schedule the interview. First round is a telephonic interview round (coding based round)that lasts for 45min.After qualifying this round there'll be a coding round for 90min
