Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. The first round was a phone interview. The interview lasts about one hour. At first the interviewer presents himself and his job. Then I had to speak 5-10 minutes about myself focusing on the project I developed. Then the rest of the interview was technical. I was given a coding problem to solve on HakerRank. While explaining the problem I had to discuss complexity and possible optimizations. The second round was an on campus interview with the exact same structure. Finally they called me for an in-house interview with the same structure and same difficulty. A few days later they emailed me saying they wouldn't proceed with my application.

I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Hong Kong) in Dec 2018
Interview
Total 2 rounds of interviews. The first one was 2 to 1 face-to-face 1hr interview. The second one was 2hr 30m interview with 1hr for technical interview (2 to 1), 1hr for culture fit interview (1 to 1), and 30m for casual talk with an engineer working in Bloomberg. The interviewers were nice and gentle.
I managed to solve the coding questions and computer science related questions quite well. However, the HR did not get back with me for a month. So, I emailed the HR and I got a [vacation auto response] which meant that the HR is on vacation! This made me calling their office and they said they will send me the result after checking my hiring status (which turned out to be no offer!).
