I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
This was a horrible interview process. They were very slow and getting back at me and the HR representative who contacted me did not even half of the times available as she originally offered. Finally I figured out a time to interview and when the interview started they asked my GPA. When I did not meet their GPA requirement they said there must have been a mistake and that I could not continue. The interview that was supposed to be an hour lasted 3 min.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2015

Conversational, mainly questions about sales and how to approach customer service. Questions about my experience with sales. Also, questions about interest in finance and particularly Bloomberg. I had to talk about why I would be a useful on the help desk, and how my previous experience had prepared for that. How I would deal with a difficult client, and experience with that.
