I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Mar 2020
Interview
I got contacted for an interview through a hackathon that I went to. It was not too bad overall, the technical questions were a bit tricky. The first step was a phone screen with one technical question and some behavioral, the technical problem was not too difficult. Even though I didn't do perfectly and I didn't think my interviewer liked me that much, I moved on to the next round. The second and final round consisted of three technical problems. Two problems I went through with a group of three engineers and the last problem I did with one separate engineer. I got stuck on one that had to do with trees, but the other two I did ok.

Question 1
What has been your favorite project that you've gotten to work on?
It was a white board coding with two engineers. I got asked one algo question and one system design question. The engineers were friendly and understanding, even though it was my first interview.
