I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (London, England) in Mar 2016
Interview
Took a long time to schedule interviews and had a negative experience. Interviewer (current employee who is working in the position) was intimidating. The phone interview took approximately 30 minutes then they scheduled a language test which they asked questions about the current events and asked to do a write up. Was not offered to continue with interview process.
