I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Mar 2016
Interview
After applying online, I got a phone interview. The interviewer was very nice and friendly. Got asked the typical HR questions of why Bloomberg, what does Bloomberg do, a past project I worked on and what problems have I faced in the project and how I solved them etc.
The interviewer then moved to Hackerrank where I was asked to code a problem
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Write a function that can find the maximum two numbers in a list
15 minutes talking about resume, 45 minutes for 2 medium leetcode style coding questions (using code share), the interviewer was very friendly and communication is even more important than passing all test cases.
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.
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.
