I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
Online Video Interview, Numerical Test, Shadowing and two interviews at office.
Overall process went quick.
Last interview was difficult and unwelcoming. I felt that they did not see me as a fit at all, even though I went through all other stages. I would have preferred this decision was made earlier, they knew my background. State clearly the reason that you are interested in finance, like you read books and news in spare time.
The job came across as a customer service with every day being contacted by clients for questions on how to work the Bloomberg system..
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in May 2017
Interview
Phone interview went well- the HR guy was really helpful and sent me loads of links to further read and prepare for face to face interview. I had applied for the role years earlier and was redacted to the extra support and guidance was very useful. I also tried to remember and mention al the financial products that Bloomberg has other than the terminal. I also caught up with major financial news for the region i was applying for.
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg
Interview
The interview process went well until the very last stage, on which I was shut down right on the spot, not given even a chance to succeed. Not a stress interview environment, seemed like a rigged one. One of the other possible interns was also told that the masters degree that he was doing is quote on quote "pointless ". Overall, not a great experience.
