I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Feb 2015
Interview
I talked with representatives of Bloomberg at a career fair on campus. They had me do a quick coding test in person – how to find the character that occurred the most in an array. I handed them my resume and they said they’d look it over. After about a week or so of applying I was emailed about a phone interview. I was asked almost exclusively about algorithms problems.
