13,009 global trainee interview questions shared by candidates

Phone interview: Why Bloomberg, why this particular role, speak about a current financial event. Very friendly and overall a positive refreshing experience. Office: Go through your CV (degrees and work experience), why Bloomberg, why this job while I was constantly interrupted with other bits of questions or remarks. The overall experience was terrible. I really expected so much more from such a high positioned company and their staff. The staff was rude, disorganized, distracted, unprepared (they did not read my CV beforehand) and apparently in a conflictual competitive relationship with each other as they would not let each other speak and ask questions though they both had the same amount of experience in years in the office. Even though the job is described as a highly analytical job and they constantly refer to 'the analyst is supposed to do this ..' I actually come to understand that it's stricly an accounting job. The way I found out is when the staff aggressively enquired: 'Why does everyone have the impression that this is an analyst job!!' I felt not heard through the entire interview and purposely and maliciously sabotaged. As much as I prepared myself it did not matter because they did not let me speak or have the required patience for me to be able to finish a sentence. They also asked me a few accounting questions because as I mentioned before it is a heavily related accounting role which should have been mentioned in the description of the job. The nature of the job in reality is completely different from what the job says online. The working hours are quite tedious which is not a problem for me but might be for someone who's got a family at home. The staff works in shifts: 8am-6pm and 6am-4pm.

Why do you want to work for Bloomberg. What do you know about Bloomberd. CV questions. Behavioural questions (difference between good and exelent service, is the customer always correct), what clients do they have and what would a client be interested in on the terminal. What countries in Sub-Saharan Africa would investors be interested in and why. What do you understand about the role, what do they do in the role and what do you think you would be doing. How does someone stay up to date with the news. Are you actively seeking other roles and where, some data questions which I can even remember properly.

Simple things like why the company, what the role entails and your goals, as well as where you see yourself in the future. At the final stage, it seemed like they wanted to assess whether or not you'd be a good investment i.e. are you going to just take the experience and leave for another company or do you foresee a long trajectory with Bloomberg. Flat hierarchies have the capability to negatively impact those who seek to elevate quickly within their career trajectories.
