No Offer – Interviewed in Leung Tin Tsuen (Hong Kong) May 2013 – Reviewed May 16, 2013 New
Interview Details Basically group interview in the 1st round. A role play was required for every group consisting of 5 to 6 people. Don't be too aggressive or too shy, try to raise some good points. Panel interview in the 2nd round, mainly focus on your CV. I am still waiting for further notice from HR, but it seems to have slim hope.....I know that they will send rejection letter to anyone who fails in the 1st round? Will they still do that in 2nd round?
Interview Question – Role play Answer Question

Equity Data Analyst - Environmental, Social, and Governance at Bloomberg L.P.
No Offer – Interviewed in Skillman, NJ (US) Feb 2013 – Reviewed May 14, 2013 New
Interview Details Applied online after finding job listing on Linkedin. Received an email about 12 hours after I applied and was scheduled for a phone interview. Phone interview was very at ease and casual questions, more based on interests, why this job appealed to you etc. Was told that I will be passed on to Hiring Manager and that we will keep in touch. Contacted them 2 weeks after phone interview to find out progress, was told that there are many candidates and they are still reviewing applications. Didn't hear back for a month and they never replied to my other communication attempts.
Interview Question – In my case, there was no real difficult answer during the phone interview. I think if I went on farther, I would have had more difficult questions. Answer Question
