I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
They have very inefficient and disorganised recruitment process lol I applied in August and heard nothing until mid-September. Then I got invited to a telephone interview, nothing for 2 weeks after that (so thought i had failed) then got invited for an in-house interview. Still waiting to hear back from them. They said there would be 2 more interviews, so telephone + 3 interviews..quite hectic.
1. Telephone interview
Very quick, manager of a department, seemed very busy and uninterested in what I say.
- Do you have any sales experience, etc.
2. In house-interview
-Why financial services and not banking
-what other firms have you applied to
scenario questions (if you had this client acting this way and another acting this way, what would you do and in which order?)
- any customer service experience
- rate your financial knowledge in 1-10 (don't say 10, they just want this for follow-up questions)
- what is a market cap
- what is credit default swap
- what's ur understanding of this role
The interviewers were very friendly and made me feel relaxed.

Question 1

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Aug 2014
Interview
Phone Interview and invited a day later to the final round. Phone interview was pretty easy, asking company question and general world news. The face to face was a lot more difficult, question were strange and answer often took a part

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
Three rounds of interview: the first one was a phone interview, the second one was a panel interview, and the third one was an one-to-one. In general, the interview process was quite quick, I knew my interview result within 2 days. Interviewers were quite friendly. The interviews focused a lot on asking about my cv.

Why you chose to study your current course, but not maths? Since you said you like to calculate.
