I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2017
Interview
Really Awesome interviewers. Nice and patient. Two back to back interviews. Talk about projects and other background information. Sadly didnt go into the final round. The interview process is relatively short and some really detailed questions (about C++) were asked.
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
