Interview
I applied online. Got a response within 7 days to set up a phone interview.
The interviewer had a heavy accent. Asked me about my projects and role; basic questions from the resume. 10 minutes into the interview, went onto the technical question on hackerrank code pair. One question about creating a schedule based on the meeting timings of an employee. It was an easy question and I solved with just a little help. Got a rejection mail next day which was very surprising to me.

During the first interview, I was asked algorithmic questions for an hour.
Mostly, simple integer-array problems, about sorting, etc
In the second interview, I was asked a systems question.
Unfortunately, I do not remember details to describe the problem.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Oct 2017
Interview
The first round was completing a short HackerRank exercise (the time limit was about an hour, as I recall).
Next was an University campus interview which comprised two rounds - the first a set of algorithm/data structure questions and the next more general technical questions about programming languages.
Lastly there was a HR interview over the phone, which mostly focused on past experience and interests (nothing technical).
