1. Applied online on the website for an interview.
2. Got an get-to know you call, was pretty standard
3. Online interview based on a zoom call, the interviewers were polite and understanding of the solution.
No real feedback given on interview result, this is very disheartening because now I am not sure if I should ever apply at Bloomberg again or not because I am not sure why I was rejected.

The interview process for this role was awful. I hated the entire process from the start because my interviewers were very unprofessional (rescheduling minutes before my interview, late, ghosting unless I made the effort to check in and send emails myself). I got an offer but I declined because I had such an awful experience that it really tainted my perception of the company. This level of ineptitude is honestly appalling and on top of that the entire process lasted 4 awful months which is just terrible.
