I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in May 2014
Interview
I had a phone interview roughly 1 week after my application to the London office. There were a few, fairly simple, regular questions. Make sure you know how is Bloomberg different to their competitors. Don't say that they are the best company in the industry because they will say it's not...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How would you sell a terminal to a company outside of the financial industry?
2. You are responsible for Morgan Stanley's account and they are firing 500 employees hence returning 500 terminals. How do you minimise the damage to bloomberg? You cannot give any price discounts
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Hongkong)
Interview
I got a phone interview 2 days after I submitted the application. The HR guy was nice in general but kept challenging my answer. I didn't care about him because this is not my ideal position anyways. Then I get further rounds interview a few days later.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2013
Interview
started with a phone interview. Was asked the standard BBerg questions. Why Bloomberg? what do you like about our culture etc.
2 weeks later was brought into NY office. Did the standard shadowing of two differnt people working on the terminals. Then had the interview with 3 "Account Managers".
Did not ask anything overly difficult. Had a list of of very standard and marginally relevant interview questions. Like how many terminals are in the world?
