      Software Engineer Interview

      8 Oct 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Jul 2011

      Interview

      I was called by a developer in the London office who was very polite and easy to talk to. I was extremely nervous as this was my first interview in 14 years, which didn't help matters at all. All the questions were programming related, mostly C++ and the usual 'what is the difference between a process and a thread' type questions. A couple of the questions where unsuitable for a phone interview, e.g. the interviewer described a programming block and asked 'what might be wrong with it'. There actually was nothing specifically wrong with what he had described given the wording of the question (seriously!), so I think a different style of question on the same subject should have been asked instead. I lucked out because although I had answered most of the questions correctly, I had apparently not given enough details. I think I should have been asked at the time 'can you give a bit more detail' to avoid this. Ten weeks later and the job is still advertised, and from what I've heard from recruiters, I think they should review their hiring procedures.

      Application

      I interviewed at Bloomberg

      Interview

      Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
