I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Oct 2016
Interview
(1) Applied on the Internet Website, (2) Assessment Center, (3) Telephone Interview, (4) Skype Interview with 2 Managers, (5) Skype Interview with Senior Managers
The Assessment Center was fairly simple. The Telephone Interview was mostly based on questions on my CV and prior experiences which would help me to succeed in the given internship. The first skype interview was very nice and the questions were okay. The second interview was definitely more difficult, but manageable; but do admit (like me) if you do not know the answer of a question. Overall very kind personnel, and enjoyable experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you tell a CEO from a mid-sized firm, that asks why he should purchase a Bloomberg Terminal at such high costs if he could simply call the bank/broker and ask for the desired rate/number?
Applied online, had a phone interview shortly afterwards, and then a video interview. They sent me the wrong link and seemed annoyed it started late, which got the interview off to a poor start. They said they would get back to me within 2-3 days but ignored my emails and didn’t respond for almost a month. Not very impressed with their hiring process or preparedness.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2017
Interview
1 Hour Interview. Questions exactly as expected and given by the HR team before the interview. 2 senior staff (1 male and 1 female), each working in either Sales or Analytics. Very friendly and interested in what you have to say. They want to like you, just be yourself.

Question 1
What does the Sales and Analytics position mean to you?
Why Bloomberg and not another firm? What about Bloomberg interests you so much?
