I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview process is very good. I applied to Bloomberg during its campus recruitment. I took two face-to-face interview on campus and another final round on-site. The interview questions are very general and they don't mind if you have any syntax errors (mis-spelled or anything else). The interviewers are very nice. They do not push you hard to make your nervous.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY)
Interview
You go through four cycles. Two technical interviews with interviewers who seem to have been pulled away from their desks by surprise. Then you go on to interview with a director or manager for the team you applied to. Afterwards, you'll finish off the interview process with an interview with HR. If you do not make it through at least three rounds, expect a rejection or continuation of your interview.
