I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Gainesville, FL) in Feb 2024
Interview
5 rounds: first there was a tech chat which was just a general screening, then there was two rounds of technical interviews (basically Leetcode questions), then a behavioral round that asked personal questions, and finally a meeting with the engineering manager to discuss your projects more in-depth. I had quick responses across most of my interviews, but it did take 2 weeks for me to receive my offer.

Question 1
How to optimally employ ships to deliver shipping containers of different weights in a specified number of days.
Fair, from leetcode 150, as long as you grind leetcode would be good. First round was one question. Second round another tech question, if you don’t pass you don’t go to the next interview for super day
