I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied online on their job portal. Recruiter got back to me a week later to schedule a phone interview with an engineer.
Phone interview started off with introductions, why Bloomberg, and discussion about some projects on my resume. The technical question was relatively easy.
A week later, I received an email to move to the next round(s) of interview. To be specific, two technical rounds and a meeting with someone from HR.
When my meeting ended, I had one more interview scheduled with an engineering manager a week later.
