I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
Brief phone interview a week after applying. CV run-through and very general questions. Was told I got to the next round a day later. The HR people were very friendly. The second round interview at the office was early in the morning. Got rejected two days later without any feedback.

Question 1
The second round was at the office. I was interviewed by the head of the sales team and the head of the analytics team. Questions were also around the CV. they asked for some finance basics. There was a role playing part that I didn't do well. They tried to corner me, see how I reacted under pressure.
self-introduction
one interesting fact abt urself
group exercise
There were no explanation about the company, role, the agenda of the interview or so on.
Did not feel much appreciation that the candidate came to attend the interview while sacrificing their time as well, which was quite shocking to observe from a big and reputable firm.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Jul 2015
Interview
Submitted my application on and got an email the next day scheduling for a phone interview.
The phone interview happened around 3 weeks later. The interviewer was very nice and chill.
Didn't last as long as I expected, around 15 minutes. Questions were mainly general interview questions you would expect but you should really know the position you're applying for. I am now waiting for the date for the 2nd in-house interview.
