Did a call through the phone with the interviewer. They were a senior software developer at the company. We talked about my background and experiences, then moved into coding questions which he gave on the spot, through Hackerrank.

I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2019
Interview
Just ask a coding problem, no time for follow up. It's very formal and ordinary. It was my first interview and the interviewer comfort me that it is ok to be nervous. (why I need to type 30 words here, I don't have much to say)
The interviewer was friendly. First, he described his work. Then, he asked me to describe my work during an intern. Then, we moved on to HackerRank, where I got a programming question.

Question 1
Candy crushing question (can be solved using a stack; can have more optimal solutions too).
(copy-pasted from a previous description on Glassdoor, was asked the same question) 1-D Candy Crush - Given a string, collapse the characters appearing three or more together; on collapsing the new string must be checked for more collapses. Overall the resultant string must not contain any sequence of three or more characters.
