Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General interview questions on experience, education, why bloomberg, how i would fit ect.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Apr 2009
Interview
it was very simple and casual, i met with my (potential) manager -- interview lasted about an hour and the next week I got an offer. This was several years ago and seems to have changed significantly. I was also recommended by a current employee. This is the fastest way to get a job here, find someone you know who works there and have them submit your resume.

Question 1
The most difficult question is about the Bloomberg culture. Be upbeat, talk about doing whatever it takes and show that you want to be a part of a team. The culture and values are the #1 reason they hire people. If the interviewer doesn't think you will be a good fit then you wont get the job.
