Interview
It's a telephone interview. He first asked me why do I choose Bloomberg, and then asked me loads of questions about Java, since I chose Java as my primary language. Questions involve JVM, how does it work, difference between C and Java, Java garbage collector, and heap vs. stack. And then he asked me to code a question.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Nov 2015
Interview
Following a chat with campus recruitment team, I applied online. The online application took less than 15mins. A week later, they emailed me to arrange a technical phone interview. They told me the outcome of the interview within couple of days. Following that, they arranged an on-site interview. The on-site interview consisted of 2 technical interviews (1-1.5hours) and 30mins of HR. They told me the outcome the next day.
Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. Online application was easy and then it was all about the technical stuff. Make sure you try to learn about the data structures as much as possible, and time and space complexity
