I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Oct 2013
Interview
Had one phone interview with someone from New York office. She was totally uninterested and extremely curt. Would ask a question like "Why Sales?" or "Why Bloomberg?" and then after I responded, would follow up with something like "But why do you want to do that?" or "Why is that?". She never said more than 10 words at a time, and could not have had a more indifferent attitude regarding the interview. It was like talking to a brick wall. Literally hearing echoes as she pried for me to repeat myself or explain what I had just said in different words. Brutal interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing difficult or unexpected -- all exactly what I would have guess: Why Bloomberg? Why this role? What is your understanding of the role? Why sales? What sales experience do you have? What does Bloomberg do?
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Singapur) in Nov 2013
Interview
I applied for financial sales and analytics entry level position. There was a phone interview followed by three face-to-face interviews. The first was with team lead, the second with manager. The last was a video conference with regional manager from Hong Kong. The process took around 5-6 weeks.
