Was approached by a Bloomberg recruiter for the role and then moved to the next round which was a managerial one. Did very well on that one (as confirmed by the recruiter) and was then moved to the technical round. Technical round had stats, ML evaluation, data normalization and python programming. While I did really well overall, I felt the interviewer was cold to me throughout the process. I subsequently got dinged after the technical round saying I wasn't upto the bar but I ran my answers through multiple experts and colleagues I know and they said I should've cleared the round and that the interviewer was too strict and knit-picky to not let minor issues pass since I was under time pressure to complete everything.

1st round HR screening. 2nd and 3rd technical include leetcode, ml concepts, database, and pandas EDA. 4th round behavioral interview. Some interviewers lacked strong data-related background, and the feedback was sometimes contradictory
