I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Feb 2018
Interview
I should say first- the process is very long. I applied from the official website and got a notice for a video-recording interview after a week. There are about ten questions, and I had time to prepare 30sec and 90sec to talk for each. After over a week, I moved on to the next interview via phone which took about an hour. It'll be fine if you fully understand the job description, but the HR also asks you about the product range (Apart from the terminal) and recent financial news. I couldn't give the perfect answers for these but passed as I could show genuine interests and passion. After a few days, HR told me about the next round with the team leaders (each from analytics and sales) and the feedback of my phone interview. Before the face-to-face interview, I was also invited to the open day to talk with the analytics team. The team leader interview took about an hour, and it contains a lot of "What if" question that you have to answer with the required skills for the position, the estimated situation based on your understanding on the job, and how you approach it based on your experiences. I couldn't pass this, but there are two (!) more if you are successful. For me, the whole process took over 2 months. Further, I came to London from North East for two times (open-day, and an inteview), so bear in mind the transportation fee if you come from outside London
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
How do you give a priority to your three types of customers? (you get info for each of three different customers and explain how you approach)
I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jan 2018
Interview
Although the process has taken quite a long time (I waited 3 weeks for each interview), it was generally well organized. I have heard that interviews vary in length and difficulty, but they went through my CV and asked real-life examples of specific topics/previous positions (ex: Tell me about a situation where a client was mad, and what you did about it.)

Interview
(1) Applied on the Internet Website, (2) Assessment Center, (3) Telephone Interview, (4) Skype Interview with 2 Managers, (5) Skype Interview with Senior Managers
The Assessment Center was fairly simple. The Telephone Interview was mostly based on questions on my CV and prior experiences which would help me to succeed in the given internship. The first skype interview was very nice and the questions were okay. The second interview was definitely more difficult, but manageable; but do admit (like me) if you do not know the answer of a question. Overall very kind personnel, and enjoyable experience.

Question 1
What would you tell a CEO from a mid-sized firm, that asks why he should purchase a Bloomberg Terminal at such high costs if he could simply call the bank/broker and ask for the desired rate/number?
