I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)
Interview
Applied for full time online.
Phone screen interview with another engineer. Everything is through Hacker rank.
Onsite: Bloomberg booked round-way trip and one night hotel for me. the hotel was about 15 minutes walk away, so its really convenient.
Introduction of the office and campus. Breakfast with engineers to hear about what they are working on.
One Technical interview followed by another Technical interview and HR interview.
Technical interviews are on hacker rank. Screen is far, so it can be helpful to zoom in: Ctrl-+.
Keyboards are Bloomberg keyboards, they are quite cool.
Overall the experience was positive, and good atmosphere. There are snacks free to grab as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What brings you to Bloomberg. How did you know Bloomberg.
I think it would be helpful to know why to be there in advance.
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.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
