I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Oct 2017
Interview
One in-person interview where we discussed simple programming concepts (software design patterns) and talked about previous projects. This was then followed by a technical interview in which I was given two design problems given by two engineers. Lastly I had two algorithm questions by two different engineers.

The entire process was a bit chaotic, I spent a bit of time going back a fourth with my recruiter to schedule the interview by the time i was able to i believe they had already moved forward with a different candidate. My interviewer ended the interview early and had no interest in me at all.
