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.
I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Baltimore, MD) in Sept 2022
Interview
The interviewers are nice. They are focused on asking about leetcode problems. I think communication is an important factor when evaluating. It's sad I didn't pass. There are 6 month frozen period before the next apply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about resume project like what is the biggest challenge you face when developing this project?
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
