      Software Developer Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Oct 2010

      Interview

      Applied online at commodities dept for the position of C++ developer. Within a few days I got a response from them and they scheduled a telephonic interview. The interview was conducted by 2 people. One of them was a Dev and the other a senior manager. There were very few logical or puzzle like questions. No problem solving questions. The interview was mostly concentrated on the in-depth knowledge of c++. They wanted someone who could work on supporting C++ applications running in production. They started off with normal question about inheritance and then moved into STL. There was a few questions about how would you handle issues in production.

      Application

      I interviewed at Bloomberg

      Interview

      Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
