      Financial Software Developer Interview

      Feb 2, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bloomberg (New York, NY) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      First had to go through an online IQ-type test, then about a week later was scheduled for a phone interview. The phone interview mostly consisted of technical questions and skill-based knowledge, with a little bit of work history. After successfully getting through the phone interview, I was invited for an on-site interview in New York. Bloomberg took care of all the travel arrangements, including flight, hotel, and a car from the airport. The building was very nice and easy to find. I was given security clearance to go upstairs where I met the HR person who was my contact for the day who brought me to my two technical interviewers. They asked a lot of programming and algorithm questions, and one design questions. Some of the questions were kind of tough, as they were some things that I learned years ago and hadn't needed or touched since. I would recommend that you really brush up on your fundamentals before the interview. I got an e-mail the next day saying that I didn't get the position, so I'm happy that they got back to me so quickly.
