      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Mar 2013

      Interview

      I handed in my resume at a career fair and I also submitted my resume to the Bloomberg website. A Bloomberg employee called me 3 or so weeks later to set up an on-campus interview the next day. There were two 1-hour interviews, each interview was 2-on-1. Questions were standard interview questions; there were some brain teasers as well. Fast forward a month later, and I get an e-mail from HR asking to set up an on-site interview. The on-site interview is really nice. They pay for your hotel and plane/bus ticket and everything. On the day of the on-site interview, an upper-level software guy (manager?) interviewed me for an hour and asked some logical questions. These *aren't* your typical programming interview questions, you have to explain your thought process and talk your way through to the answer. I think I did pretty well in this part, the guy was really nice. 15 minutes later, I thought I would get another technical interview, but instead this was the behavioral interview by an HR rep, which caught me completely off-guard. The only question she asked was "Do you have any more questions?", which didn't make sense to me at the time because I had asked all my questions to the manager before. I could only muster a "Is this the last interview?" and "What's the next step in the interview process?" The whole interview probably took 5 minutes, after which the HR rep promptly led me to the elevator. I got a rejection e-mail a week and a half later. I think it was the HR behavioral interview that did me in, because I feel like I finished the manager interview on a good note. In any case, I would recommend 1) dressing sharp, and 2) preparing to ask and answer some HR questions, even if you think it's stupid. In any case, I had a great experience going through the full interview circuit.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Bloomberg

      Interview

      I applied online, and few days after, the HR email me to schedule a phone interview date with the interviewer, the first scheduled time nothing happen, so I scheduled another time, then the next time, the phone call came as expected, they only ask me some very simple questions such as what's the difference between java and C++, most of time I talking about my project which the interviewer seems interested in on it too. All seem going smoothly, however, two weeks later, I was told that the position was already filled.
