I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Madison, WI) in Sept 2018
Interview
Met in Career fair, called for an on-campus interview. Interview had a straight forward process. For the first 5-10 minutes, we talked about my resume and my interests and then we went straight to coding questions. Then they asked if I had any questions about Bloomberg and that's about it.

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.
