Phone interview was quite easy which was generally about your background and why you want to work in finance and why Bloomberg. Then they invited me to their office. It was not bad but maybe you have to be very good at sales as it is mainly sales based.

Question 1
Why Bloomberg, Why do you want to work in Finance, Do you read any news recently?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Sep 2016
Interview
I took the Bloomberg Aptitude Test (BAT), a finance aptitude test, nearly a year and half before I was contacted about this position. I had indicated when I would be finished with my masters, so they emailed me about this job. I had 5 rounds of interviews: 3 phone interviews, 1 video conference from the Paris office to the London office, and 1 in-house interview in London (final interview). I started the application process in June and finished the interviewing process in September. I believe it took unusually long and normally happens much quicker.
