I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Sep 2011
Interview
I was brought in after answering a few trivial questions on C pointers at a job fair. I was then asked to do some fairly simple code problems on the whiteboard, one of which was reversing a string. I was then asked a more abstract question.
We then talked about my past experience and I went on my way.

You have two identical eggs that will break when they encounter a significant force. You are in a 100 story building and know that you can find the the breaking point of the eggs by dropping them off different floors. Describe and prove the optimal algorithm for this.
