I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
The whole process was fast. My recruiter contacted me to get me a phone interview one week after I applied on their website. My phone interview was on Friday, and the next Monday I got an invitation for an onsite interview in New York. Onsite interview was two-round technical. If you do well in them, you'll get two more. Overall, I had a good experience with Bloomberg, my interviewers were friendly, the hotel they booked for me was nice, and they gave me enough money to take care of the transportation.

A phone interview mostly asking me about Java, JVM and design patterns. After the question and answer round, I had a online coding test which was pretty simple.
Then onsite interview at their head office in London. A 1 hour session with two interviewers. One of them was playing games on her phone while I was getting interviewed. A lot of general questions about java, python, c++. Then, a coding question.

Interview
The first round is a phone interview. After that, I was invited to an on-site. I didn't perform well on the first round, so I only have two rounds. In the first round, I was asking about some basic questions about C++ concepts, memory management. In the on-site question, one question is a math question about cutting pizzas, and the second one is about building a tree from a string
