I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2020
Interview
Interviewed by two software engineers.
They introduced themselves, their team and their ongoing projects. I introduced myself as well.
There was no other behavioral questions (as far as I can remember)
Then there comes a technical coding challenge.

Question 1
Meeting Rooms II (LC 253)
Given an array of meeting time intervals, return the minimum number of meeting rooms required.
I applied online in September 2020. First round was a phone interview where I was pair-coding with one of their engineers, was rather relaxed as there was no video involved. This was followed by a technical video round with two engineers with another coding question. Both interviewers were quite relatable as they were around my age, one of them was more approachable and friendly. This was then followed by a technical video architecture round with a "senior developper". Then I had a final round with a tech lead and recruitment manager which was a behavioural interview - in this one I thought I didn't do too well as the reactions were a bit cold but got very good feedback in the end. I got an offer on January 15th.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2021
Interview
The first round is phone interview. I was given a slot for the interview. The interview started with the introduction and I was asked to explain one of my favourite project. Then some technical questions related to C++ were asked. 2 coding questions were asked. They asked t write and run the code.
