I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Champaign, IL)

Bloomberg was on campus and I submitted my resume. Got invited to a first round group interview. Five people in a group and discussed about a piece of commercial news. We were given 15 minutes to draw some conclusions to the questions and give a presentation to the interviewer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
This is a video interview, similar to hirevue for banking. It took me 20-30 minutes to finish the interview. The questions are similar to last year's questions. I guess it's not very difficult to prepare.
