I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Princeton, NJ) in Dec 2019
Interview
This interview process is quite lengthy. It begins by applying for the position and within a week or two you should know whether you move onto the next step. The next step is a one-sided, self-recorded interview with five questions. Understand the role very well and what Bloomberg does. One question asked me what was one project I worked on in which is worked with a large dataset. Within a few days after submitting your responses, you should find out whether you will be invited to a Superday at the Princeton office. The Superday visit will consist of three interview activities. The first is a group activity with the other interviewees. All the interviewees will be split into two groups and asked to read a recent news article. One group will be asked to argue in support of the article while the other group will argue against the article. The next interview activity is a technical quiz asking questions on SQL and Python code, data mining techniques and procedures, and basic statistics. The last interview activity is probably the most difficult in which you will be interviewing with two Bloomberg employees. You will be given two processes for which data is brought in and how it is handled, processed, cleaned, and outputted for use. You will be asked to provide recommendations for how to improve each of these processes. Be sure to explain your recommendations. Overall, the this interview process was one of the better ones I have had because all the activities emphasize collaboration and make it feel less like you are competing with the other interviewees.
