I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Apr 2017
Interview
1 technical phone interview + 4 rounds onsite. 2 technical rounds with engineers, 1 with HR and 1 with engineering manager (semi technical). Heavy emphasis on resume related questions. Know your resume like the back of your hand. Spend time on the technical details of all the projects you list there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone interview - Leetcode #34 (search for a range)
Onsite round 1 - Leetcode #117 (populating next pointers in trees), check if a linkedlist is a palindrome
Onsite round 2 - data structure question about stock ticker, one open ended question related to my background.
HR round - About career interests, expectations, background and past projects.
Engineer Manager - A very deep discussion on one of my past projects, culture fit discussions.
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
