Total Interview Process:- Phone Interview (coding and resume questions) -> Video Interview (coding and resume questions) -> System Design Interview -> HR and Manager Interview. You would only go to the next round after clearing the current round. One interviewer in my second round was deliberately confusing me with the time and space complexity discussion. I think that the interview don’t even know that the time and space is always calculated in the worst case. No proper feedback was given why I was rejected. In the System Design round, the interviewer is not even interested in my answers. He barely communicated. I personally think they’re targeting people with 1+ yoe. I was asked why I didn’t have any internship experience or real industry experience. Just practise Bloomberg tagged LC problems to clear the coding rounds. My overall interview experience with this company is pretty negative (because of lack of rejection feedback and interviewers behaviour). System Design can be High-Level design (if you’re unlucky), for me it was a low-level design.

The first-round interview lasted about an hour and included questions about my academic background, projects, and motivation for joining Bloomberg. The technical portion focused on data structures, algorithms, and a coding/problem-solving question. The interviewer was professional and interested in my reasoning process, not just the final answer. I received positive feedback afterward and was invited to the next stage of the process.
