I applied for the employee operations intern in Bloomberg Hong Kong. The internship was more about dealing with front-line customer service. The first interview was done on their assessment website. There are 6 Question, each question has 30 seconds to prepare and 90 seconds to answer.

What was your role, how did you work with others and what was the outcome? Q6 Tell us about a time you were unable to meet tight/conflicting deadlines for different tasks. How did you deal with it?
Got the selective one-way video interview for News 2026. The question format caught me by surprise. It is not a way for them to get to know you -- you need to be prepped to give your answer as soon as you click in. There is no waiting or prep/time: you read the question and then have to start speaking.

Question 1
Why are you a good candidate, pitch a story, describe a story you've followed and what would you do differently, etc
Not technical in the first rounds - completely about your motivations. You also need to be very aware of what product offerings they have. There was a language interview to check that you can speak the language.
