I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Singapore) in Nov 2017
Interview
Very efficient HR. Process was speedy, much faster than I thought it would be. Also very accommodating HR. There was phone interview and a skills test and also interviews with other editors, bureau chief etc.
I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Athens, GA) in Oct 2017
Interview
This was only a 15 minute interview at my university so it was difficult to explain how/why I would fit at Bloomberg. The interviewer was kind, but I knew very quickly that I wasn't the type they were looking for. They asked only 4 questions and said that the next step would be a test that was 20% financial/business and 80% writing skills. I didn't get invited to the next round but they were very quick in the turn around, which I appreciated.
