      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Bloomberg

      Interview

      It was a great process. I had a great relation with the recruiter. I was very sadden when I didn't get the position. But, Bloomberg is a great company and I would apply again for another position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Sell me on an item?
      1 Answer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Aug 2016

      Interview

      Put in an application and received a test, then it was the video interview. I do not generally mind video interviews, but there was only 1min and 30 seconds to answer (you did not get to retry) and the fact this did not change was what made it negative to me. Regardless if the question was brief or not, the time was the same and so I was either watching the clock rushing to run them through my experience or nerves would kick in after answering a short question with so much time left. I personally feel the experience didn't give room for anyone who does not have responses prepared in advance - I didn't feel it was about me so much individually as had been other video interviews I'd done and I just don't think video interviews are the place to be discussing how well you can connect with others (throughout multiple questions), how I would sell something to someone - it's different, and in my experience that's a strength, but without a person to relate to it is very difficult to describe an ability to do that and i think contact (even if they had a recorded person asking the questions) in the questions they asked would have been more influential than 1 minute 30 anecdotes where personal flare had little room.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe their products, why bloomberg, what was a time you dealt with a difficult situation, what makes you good at sales

      Financial Products Interview

      27 Sept 2016
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England)

      Interview

      It started with a Phone interview, which was about how much I knew about financial markets, and how curious I was about the subject: they asked me how I kept up to date, and to tell them about a financial fact that I remembered. Then they invited me over for a 1:1 interview in London. That one was motivational and skill based: they asked me which skills I had that would make me a good fit for bloomberg and for its culture, especially sales - oriented capabilities. Then I had one final interview on Nexi (their form of skype), and that was extremely technical, about the division I was applying to and the financial regulations they had to tackle.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      How do you keep informed about financial markets?
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Financial Products Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Melbourne) in Sept 2016

      Interview

      A phone call - very detail oriented interview and very impersonal interview. From what I can recall it was not them getting to know me, but more of them fishing for what I knew about Bloomberg. Go into detail - I got asked to talk about a recent financial article I had just read.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If I had no idea what the Bloomberg Terminal was, how would you explain it to me?
